Bosonožský hájek, Nature reserve in Brno-Bosonohy, Czech Republic.
Description
Bosonozsky hajek is a protected forest area sitting on a loess hill with steep gorges and erosion ravines. The terrain contains oak-hornbeam woods and hosts a variety of heat-loving plant species across its roughly 47 hectares.
History
The land was originally used for farming until erosion carved deep ravines that led to forest growth and eventually its conversion to natural habitat. Official protection status was granted in December 1985.
Culture
Eight orchid species flower within this location, making it a place where visitors can observe rare wild plants and learn about local botany. This plant diversity shapes the appearance of the forest during blooming season.
Practical
The site features marked walking paths designed for nature observation and research activities. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the terrain with gorges and uneven ground can be demanding.
Did you know?
The area hosts around 310 fungal species, making it an important location for mycological study in the Brno region. This high diversity of fungi attracts researchers and nature-focused visitors.
