White Carpathians - Protected Areas
HUTE
This small-scale area helps protect a patchwork of meadows, pastures, woods, and springs on the slopes of the Vlci vrch (Wolf hill) in the Zitkovsky stream valley.
Thanks to regular conservation management, the site can still boast of many rare species of plans, including the orchids (Orchis militaris) the Military Orchid, Gymnadenia conopsea (The Fragrant Orchid), and Dactylorhiza majalis (Western Marsh-orchid). Apart from interesting plants, the site is a valuable living space for a great number of animal species. If you are really lucky, you will even meet the Aesculapean Snake (Zamenis longissimus) here.
