Nature

Rejvíz protects a complex of peatland ecosystems, as well as the associated species and physical environment. No historic peat extraction has been documented in the Rejvíz peatland area. The rare peatland ecosystem at Velké mechové jezírko formed 6,000 to 7,000 years ago; an educational trail leads to this body of water.
