Blatská stezka, Educational trail in Borkovice, Czech Republic

The trail is open throughout the year with several rest areas suited for visitors of different fitness levels. The wooden boardwalks remain safe to walk on even during wet weather and are suitable for families with young children.
The reserve protects rare specimens of Czech gentian plants and specific beetle species, including Carabus menetriesi and Osmoderma barnabita.
