Kleiner Kranichsee
The Kleiner Kranichsee is one of the most important raised bogs in the Ore Mountains of Central Europe. The bog straddles the German/Czech border; the part lying in the German state of Saxony has been protected since 1930, whilst the Czech part was declared a nature reserve in 1962.
