Soos Nature Reserve
A nature reserve, curiosity and European rarity in one!
The Soos National Nature Reserve lies not far from Františkové Lázně. The vast peat bogs with lakes, mineral springs and gaseous carbon dioxide springs are reminiscent of a prehistoric landscape. The most interesting places include a nature trail that leads directly above the bogs along meandering wooden walkways. You can see a natural geological park, a museum dedicated to the local nature, the history of the Earth and an exhibition of life-size models of prehistoric animals.

Czech-Bavarian Geopark
What is a “geopark”? It is an area with rock formations and unusually shaped terrain with a high level of geological diversity. It often contains old quarries, accessible mines or caves. A geopark does not have any borders marked in the terrain but it forms a harmonious unit, mostly defined by the concealed basement composition, intertwined with educational trails and information panels on the surface.
