Rudenská luční prameniště, Natural monument near Rudné village, Czech Republic

Rudenská luční prameniště is a 23.18-hectare nature monument in the Krušné hory, declared on 23 March 2020 within the Jelení vrch nature park. It lies on granite of the Krušnohorský pluton at the foot of Chaloupecký vrch (900 m) and Vysoký vrch (883 m), and consists of three segments about 250–300 m apart. Small streams and drainage channels cross it; the Rudný potok drains the site toward Rolava in Vysoká Pec.

Peat was dug here from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries for heating and for insulating houses; in Rudné it was kneaded with water, pressed into moulds and dried in the air to make peat bricks. The natural monument, 23.18 hectares in size, was declared on 23 March 2020. Its whole area already lay within the Rudné Site of Community Importance, designated on 15 April 2005 over 443.6 hectares, so no buffer zone was established.

Peat from the site was dug from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries for heating and insulating houses. In Rudné it was kneaded with water, pressed into moulds and dried in the air to make peat bricks. Today the meadows are mown, keeping the mountain grasslands open.

The monument lies northwest of Rudné's built-up edge, in the Přebuzská hornatina of the Krušné hory, within the Jelení vrch nature park. It is split into three segments about 250–300 m apart, crossed by small streams and numerous drainage channels. No protective buffer zone was established because the site overlaps the larger Rudné European important locality.

The site's most numerous orchid is the marsh orchid (Dactylorhiza majalis), with populations reaching about a thousand plants; the Fuchs' marsh orchid also grows here. The rare plant Montia hallii, a spring-water specialist, finds one of its homes in these non-calcareous moss fens.
