Velký Hornek, Nature reserve in Líšeň, Czech Republic
The Velký Hornek reserve extends across 27.86 hectares of land, featuring steppe ecosystems and forest-steppe communities with fragments of oak woodland formations.
The Moravský kras Protected Landscape Area established this reserve on January 30, 2004, to preserve the northernmost location of numerous protected plant and animal species.
The reserve contains 69 species of bryophytes and 366 species of fungi, making it an essential site for biological research and environmental education.
Visitors can access the reserve through a yellow-marked tourist path from Velká Klajdovka, leading to viewpoints overlooking the Říčka valley.
The limestone plateau houses 45 bird species, including 35 nesting ones, and provides habitat for the Clouded Apollo butterfly and European stag beetle.
