Přírodní park Přebuz

Přírodní park Přebuz is a protected area in the northeast of the Karlovy Vary region near the German border. The territory consists of extensive peat bogs, mountain meadows, and forests that form a natural mosaic of the landscape.

The region experienced intensive tin mining from the 12th century until the first half of the 20th century, leaving numerous underground tunnels and shafts. This extractive activity shaped both the landscape and its settlements across generations.

The park preserves traces of old mining settlements and abandoned mining facilities that reflect the industrial past of the Ore Mountains. These remains tell the story of work and life in a region shaped by centuries of resource extraction.

Marked trails guide visitors safely through the park and help avoid underground cavities. Current weather information is helpful for planning activities and choosing the right time to visit.

The Velké jeřábí jezero reserve area spans the Czech-German border and contains mountain peat bogs with numerous small pools and mountain pine growth. This cross-border natural region demonstrates how ecosystems exist beyond human boundaries.
