Pernink, Natural monument and protected area in Karlovy Vary Region, Czech Republic

Pernink is a 68.84-hectare natural monument in the Ore Mountains, declared on 9 June 2016 between the village of Pernink, the hamlet of Rybná and the town of Abertamy. It protects waterlogged spruce stands, raised and transitional bogs, and heathland on former peat-cutting ground, with rows of planted dwarf pine and several pools.

Peat was dug here by hand from the 19th century, when cut blocks called borky were dried on wooden racks. From 1956 the state farm at Dolní Žďár extracted about 9,000 tonnes a year, and by 1995 annual output reached nearly 45,000 tonnes, with layers stripped to the bedrock. The site was declared a natural monument on 9 June 2016, and peatland restoration funded by the European Union began on 1 August 2018.

The peat bog was formerly called Bähringer Haad, German for "Pernink heath", and peat was cut here from the 19th century as fuel. Blocks called borky were dried on wooden racks. The Krušné hory educational trail runs through the southern part, partly on a boardwalk with a viewing point above a large pool.

Visitors can use marked trails that wind through the area while respecting protection rules in sensitive zones. It is best to stay on designated paths and avoid disturbing any ecological features you encounter.

The peat bog's German name was Bähringer Haad, meaning Pernink Heath. Its peat layer once reached 7 metres, and an estimated 600,000–900,000 m³ were extracted, mostly in the 20th century. After mining ended in 2006–2007, peatland pine was planted in rows and banks and pools were created.
