Kavky

Kavky is a protected natural area on the southern slope of Hádý hill near Brno. The site features open terrain with low vegetation and warm, dry conditions that support diverse plant and animal life.

The area received official protected status in 2000 to preserve its natural value. This recognition acknowledged the ecological importance of the dry grassland and the species that depend on it.

The site represents a dry grassland environment typical of the region, offering habitat for numerous insect species adapted to warm conditions. Walking through this landscape shows how nature sustains communities in places where water is scarce.

The site is accessible to visitors, but some areas are restricted to protect sensitive habitats. It is best to visit during warm, dry weather when the paths are in good condition.

The site serves as an important stopping point for butterflies and dragonflies during their seasonal migrations. These insects rely on the warm grassland as a corridor between different habitats.
