Kulháň, Nature reserve in Bánovce nad Bebravou District, Slovakia
Kulháň is a nature reserve located in the Považský Inovec mountains with forests covering rolling terrain and varied habitats for wildlife. The area shelters deer, wild boar, pheasants, and multiple tree species that form the backbone of the landscape.
The area received protection status in 1972 and was incorporated into an updated conservation system in 2004. These measures arose from the need to preserve natural forest and wildlife populations for future generations.
Local residents maintain traditional ecological practices near the reserve boundaries, supporting the long-term preservation of native plant and animal communities.
Visitors can walk marked trails throughout the reserve with good access points and views across the mountainous terrain. The best time to hike is from May through September when weather is stable and paths remain dry.
The reserve operates under IUCN category IV specifications, focusing on targeted interventions to maintain specific species and their required ecological conditions.
