Květnice, Natural monument in Tišnov, Czech Republic.

Květnice is a protected natural area near Tišnov with forests, meadows, and rocky outcrops scattered across the landscape. Visitors can walk through different terrain types that support a wide range of plants and animals in their natural surroundings.

Květnice was declared a natural monument by decree of the South Moravian regional council, issued on 24 September 2014 as No. 1/2015, which re-established the protection. The site lies on the boundary between the Boskovice Furrow and the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, and in the 1930s its summits still carried extensive rock steppe and forest-steppe.

The name Květnice refers to the flowering character of the hill, whose southern slopes still carry rare thermophilous plants such as Inula oculus-christi and Stipa capillata. The old multi-level barite adits at the foot of the hill and the caves of the Tišnov Karst, including the 76.5 m deep Květnická propast, draw cavers and mineral collectors; amethyst has long been found here.

You can visit year-round by following the marked trails that wind through the property. Wear sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing since the terrain is uneven and can be muddy in places.

The rocky outcrops and stone formations create homes for plant species that are rare elsewhere in the region. Some of these special plants exist only in such specialized geological settings.
