Babí lom

Babí lom is a nature reserve between two villages featuring a prominent rocky ridge that shapes the landscape. The area contains rare plant species and offers walking paths that pass through different natural habitats.

The site received official protection status in 1990 to preserve its natural habitats and rare species. This decision was part of broader efforts to safeguard valuable natural areas in the region.

The name comes from the rocky formations that locals associate with a woman's silhouette, and the place holds meaning as a natural refuge for the community. Visitors notice how the steep slopes and rare plants make this spot feel distinct from the surrounding countryside.

You can reach the reserve from either village using marked trails and should wear sturdy footwear for the terrain. The nearby city offers accommodation options if you plan to stay in the area.

The reserve sits near protected areas that cross national borders and connects different natural landscapes. This position makes it a useful starting point for hikes through the cross-border region.
