Kladská Peaty Moors
Jewel of the Slavkovský Les Mts.
The village of Kladská was founded in 1875 by Prince Otto Friedrich von Schönburg-Waldenburg, the owner of the estate at that time. At first, it comprised a hunting lodge and sawmill, but five log cabins in the Swiss-Tyrolean style were added later on. The building exteriors are decorated with hunting themes and trophies, and the surrounding park designed in the Romantic style abounds in decorative tree species. Today, the hunting lodge serves as a stylish hotel.
Kladská provides an opportunity not only to rest and relax in stylish forest and hunting settings, but also a chance to become quietly acquainted with the history and natural wealth of the Slavkovský Les Mts. A nature trail that leads along the edge of the Kladská Peaty Moor Nature Reserve introduces visitors to Quaternary geology, to the formation of peat moors and to the natural wealth of the area.
One of the stops along the nature trail is dedicated to the technical monument Dlouhá Stoka Canal, an important waterwork, which used to supply tin mines with wood and power and which starts at Kladský Pond.
