Kaňon Blanice, Nature reserve in Volary and Záblatí, Czech Republic.
The Blanice Canyon is a nature reserve following the Blanice River through its course. The terrain includes thick coniferous forests, exposed rock outcrops, open meadows, and grasslands within its protected boundaries.
The area formed part of Hus Castle's domain in the 14th century under royal authority. The castle's later destruction led to changes in how the land was controlled and used.
The reserve draws hikers seeking to explore its forested valleys and river landscapes on foot. The marked paths connect the surrounding communities and offer ways to experience the woodland environment directly.
The area is served by a network of marked hiking routes that guide visitors through the terrain. The main blue-marked path offers straightforward navigation for those exploring the reserve.
The reserve harbors rare aquatic species including freshwater pearl mussels and small fish varieties that survive in few European river sections. These creatures depend on the cold, clean water and undisturbed conditions the canyon provides.
