Bubbling mofets, salt fields, diatomaceous earth, gas vents. Near Franti\u0161kovy L\u00e1zn\u011b there is a landscape that does not even seem to belong to the Czech Republic. It looks more like somewhere in Iceland. Welcome to the Soos National Nature Reserve.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reserve offers a unique view of nature from a completely different angle. The place, which resembles a barren moonscape, was once a salt lake, but over hundreds of years it has been transformed into a peat bog. There are many mineral springs and carbon dioxide in mud volcanoes, called mofettes. Unlike other areas that have been conquered by man in the past and turned into spas, such as Karlovy Vary or Franti\u0161kovy L\u00e1zn\u011b, the Earth still rules here. The bubbling mofets here spontaneously find new ways to the surface, and the gaseous effusions colour the soil differently every year.<\/p>\n

Unique ecosystem<\/strong><\/p>\n

In recent years, the nature reserve has also been renowned for its flora and fauna. Here, nature is left to do all the maintenance and decisions, thus creating unique independent ecosystems. It is, in short, a spectacle unparalleled in our territory. A nature reserve has a nature trail, but you will also find a museum, a geological park, a pavilion with models of prehistoric lizards and an animal rescue station. Visitors can also use the information centre, which is the gateway to the Soos National Nature Reserve and the nature of the Cheb region. Visitors can find information about Soos, the nature trail, nature and landscape conservation and other tourist destinations in the region.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
