Starý Hirštejn, Nature reserve near Domažlice, Czech Republic.
Located at an elevation of 878 meters, the reserve contains rocky outcrops, debris fields, and wet meadows rich in plant diversity.
The conservation area was officially established on November 1, 1968, to protect native ecosystems and maintain the ecological balance of the region.
The reserve includes ruins of a 13th-century castle that served as a strategic point for controlling trade routes through the surrounding landscape.
Visitors access the reserve through hiking trails, requiring sturdy footwear and proper preparation due to the mountainous terrain and remote location.
The area marks a major European watershed, with streams flowing both to the North Sea and the Black Sea through different drainage systems.
