About Soos
The Soos reserve is near Františkovy Lázně and features peat bogs, mineral springs, and gas emissions from the ground. The boardwalk route allows you to observe this landscape without treating it as a bathing area. It is a nature outing that complements the architecture of the spa towns.
The terrain preserves formations related to the presence of mineral water and the deposits of former aquatic environments. The manifestations on the ground vary with humidity conditions and should not be described as a constant spectacle. The boardwalks and the information along the route help interpret what appears in each sector.
Plan your visit with footwear suitable for an outdoor walk and stay on the authorized path. The reserve is located outside the urban core, so the return needs to be arranged in advance if you use public transport. Confirm that the circuit is open and avoid scheduling the stop in a short interval between two connections.
