Brdy Protected Landscape Area

Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Nature reserve in Plzeňský kraj, Czech Republic.

The Brdy Protected Landscape Area is a protected landscape in the Plzeň and Central Bohemian regions, declared on 1 January 2016 over 345 square kilometres. It covers the former Brdy military training area and two former nature parks, with terrain rising from 403 to 865 metres at Tok, and protects forests, meadows, wetlands, heathland and dozens of streams.

The area functioned as a military training ground from 1927 to 2016, which accidentally protected its wild character by preventing settlement and development. When military use ended, the site was formally designated as a protected landscape to ensure its natural habitats remained intact.

The name Brdy comes from the old Czech word for a wooded hill, and the area's wartime past left a network of military tracks that now serve as hiking and cycling routes. The House of Nature at Tři Trubky, a former hunting lodge near Strašice, presents exhibits on the local landscape and its history.

The protected landscape has numerous marked trails and paths suitable for both hikers and cyclists to explore the natural environment. Wear appropriate footwear and check weather conditions before visiting, as the terrain includes boggy areas and wetlands that can be muddy or wet.

The House of Nature at Tři Trubky chateau near Strašice is the visitor centre of the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, which was declared on 1 January 2016. Its opening followed the completion of pyrotechnic clearance in 2017, when about 7,000 pieces of unexploded ordnance were removed from 5,710 hectares. A permanent exclusion zone of roughly 50 km² remains in the north around Jince, Zaječov and Obecnice.
