Boží Dar Peat Bog
The Ore Mountains triangle formed by the towns of Abertamy, Boží Dar, and Horní Blatná is not only a tourist and skiing paradise, but also part of the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2019. A highly significant and inspiring part of this area is Boží Dar Peat Bog National Nature Reserve. It is located west of Boží Dar on a plateau near Božídarský Špičák, the highest basalt dome in Central Europe (1,115 m a.s.l.). Covering an area of approximately 930 ha, it is one of the important protected areas in the Czech Republic. Its value in terms of nature conservation is best demonstrated by the fact that in 2008 it was designated as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention. It is also part of Ore Mountains Plateau Site of Community Importance within the Natura 2000 network.
