Přírodní park Novohradské hory

This nature park covers mountainous terrain with forests, meadows, and streams along the Austrian border in South Bohemia. Several marked trails connect the main points, including the higher peaks and natural features throughout the area.

Authorities established this protected area at the end of the 20th century to preserve the region from intensive use. Later regulations strengthened its status and expanded protection across the landscape.

Traditional villages within the park still reflect how people have lived and worked in this region for generations. The local way of building and farming remains connected to the surrounding forests and meadows.

Visitors should bring suitable footwear and weather protection, as the terrain is mountainous and conditions can change. The best time for hiking is from spring through autumn, when trails are most accessible.

Within the park sits an extensive peat bog containing plant species that are rare elsewhere in the region. This wetland creates its own ecosystem with different conditions from the surrounding forests.
