Krušnohorské plató, Special Area of Conservation in Sokolov and Karlovy Vary districts, Czech Republic.
Krušnohorské plató is a conservation area spanning parts of the Sokolov and Karlovy Vary districts, stretching across elevated terrain. The landscape features peat bogs, forested sections, and open meadows that support diverse wildlife.
The region was historically shaped by peat mining, particularly around Pernink, which transformed the natural landscape. This extraction activity provided fuel and materials that supported local economic activity.
The conservation area maintains educational programs and community initiatives to promote environmental awareness and sustainable practices among local residents.
Visitors can explore the highlands through various hiking routes and paths marked across the area. It is advisable to wear sturdy footwear and bring weather-appropriate clothing, as conditions vary with the season.
The northern border of the western section follows the state boundary from Bublavské meadows to the Jelení ridge above Nové Hamry. This border location makes the area interesting for those exploring landscapes across different countries.
