Abstract: The research territory is located in Šumava National Park (further ŠNP), Czech Republic. Since 1990 it has been the protected Biospherical Reserve of UNESCO, and the Natura 2000 protected area. The GIS based mapping was performed as a spatial analysis of the whole area and overlay with Landsat TM image, synthesis of individual components, masking and generalization of the map of ŠNP. This research demonstrated cur- rent distribution of the spruce and mixed forests in the study area, visualized biogeographic areas, e.g. raised bogs, springs, fens, transitional mires and distribution of valuable biotopes within the ŠNP. The results include cartographic and textual data.
