Region Lanškrounsko

More than 200 years old rest of beech wood with incidental dying off fir and sycamore maple makes foundation of natural reservation wooden vegetation. Artificially founded spruce groves (after deliberate and accidental logging in the past) are unsuitable as site for vegetable.

In spite of great age, beech vegetation is of great quality, it is naturally renewing and is capable of independent natural evolution. We can find here wide range of wood, wetland and partially meadow societies, e.g. keyflower (Dactylorhiza majalis), crowtoe (Dentaria enneaphyllos), spring snowflake (Leucojum vernum). Almost closed ecosystem allows great representation of non-vascular plants. More than one hundred species of wood-destroying fungus were found.

Ruin established by regulation of Department of Culture, 8th May 1954.
