Černý rybník, Nature reserve in Klíny, Czech Republic.
Cerny rybnik is a protected area centered on a large pond surrounded by an extensive peat bog covering roughly 13 hectares. The site sits at around 810 meters elevation near Flajska nadrz and provides habitat for plants and animals adapted to wetland conditions.
The area was officially protected in November 1993, becoming an important site for preserving bog ecosystems in the region. This designation reflected growing environmental awareness in Czech society following broader social changes.
The reserve promotes environmental education through guided tours and information panels that explain the importance of wetland preservation in Czech natural heritage.
The area can be reached on foot, by bicycle, or by car, with marked trails connecting different sections of the protected site. Bring sturdy footwear and moisture-resistant clothing, as the terrain is boggy and often wet.
The bog hosts rare plant species like cotton grass, cranberry, and dwarf birch that are increasingly uncommon in Czech mountain regions. These specialized species make the site a valuable destination for those interested in wetland plants.
