Nature in the Czech Republic and its forests and mountains were inhabited and cultivated since the ancient times. In spite of it we can still find beautiful untouched, wild places, unique with their sceneries and formations. The animals, which still live in these areas – such as the wolf, the wildcat, the lynx, the big bustard and the grouse – are elsewhere known only from books and zoological gardens.
Every visitor with at least a little romantic soul will be bewitched by the diversity and nearly wildness of the countryside situated to the south-west of Prague. Limestone base forming considerable part of geological structure, is broken by karst canyons and georges and drillled-through by caves. On the hillsides, it bears oak groves with uniquely varied herb layer.
Besides landscape and aesthetic qualities, this area is also of big natural-science importance. And it was natural scientists of all people who started to call it Czech Karst.
Fauna of Czech Karst is more varied than in the surrounding countryside. The occurrence of ten species of horseshoe batsand bats is directly dependent on the karstic environment. As for the birds, e. g. eagle-owl and honeybuCzech Republicard nest here rgularly. Occurrence of some species of reptiles and amphibians (grass snakes, green lizard, fire salamander) gives evidence of the good state of environment. Also the molluscs are an important group - there are for instance more than 70 kinds of slugs here. Great variety of insects can be proved by 1390 species of butterflies and it is nearly the same with other groups of Invertebrata.
