Blanský les Protected Landscape Area, Nature reserve in South Bohemia, Czech Republic.
The Blanský les spans 212 square kilometers of mixed forests, grasslands, and hills shaped like a horseshoe facing southeast in the Jihočeský kraj region.
Established in December 1989, the protected area includes notable structures such as the Cistercian monastery of Zlatá koruna and the Rosenberg castle ruins of Dívčí kámen.
The protected landscape maintains traditional land management practices through regular grazing, meadow mowing, and forest maintenance to preserve local ecological systems.
Visitors access numerous marked trails throughout the reserve, with the Kleť peak offering views from the oldest observation tower in Bohemia.
The area benefits from specific geological conditions due to its location near the Alps and within the rain shadow of the Bohemian Forest.
