Not only on foot, the landscape in the Ore Mountains is a real highlight - even on the bike you can discover a lot. Let your eyes wander over the Erzgebirge on the German and Czech side and enjoy the view of Keilberg, Fichtelberg and Eisenberg. Characteristic for the region are the raised bogs, which are only fed by rainwater.

Božídarské Rašeliniště Boardwalk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Since 1977, a 3.2-kilometer-long nature trail on wooden planks has led through the Božídarské rašeliniště peat bog nature reserve. It features twelve stations with information panels. The 11.61-square-kilometer area has been protected since 1965. It encompasses a series of raised bogs with spruce, pine, Scots pine, dwarf birch, heaths, and meadows. A carnivorous plant characteristic of peat bogs, the round-leaved sundew, also grows here. The largest peat bog in the Ore Mountains lies at an elevation of 940 to 1116 meters; its specific mountain climate creates challenging conditions for animals and plants.

Hike through a dreamy landscape.
Along the way are many great carved wooden figures and educational boards.

It's slowly becoming a tradition....
As I have done with my two oldest grandchildren, I'm also spending our first holiday in Gottesgab with the little one. And as luck would have it, there was a big party in Bozi Dar today. The 5th anniversary of the UNESCO World Heritage Site was celebrated here today.

We walked through the moor in beautiful fog - very mystical. 🌫️ Afterwards we took a beautiful autumn walk around Boží Dar on varied paths.

Easy hike on well-developed paths. Very nice for families, as there are many play facilities for children along the route. If you're lucky, the "feed flu" in the forest is also open.

From the Fichtelberg and the Keilberg, the headwaters of the Schwarzwasser river stretch to the west. I already knew this great, somewhat hidden landscape a bit, because I came through here on 2 Ore Mountain bike tours on a narrow road.
