Sovinecko Natural Park 3

Basic information

Sovinecko Natural Park is situated in the south-western part of Rešov highlands. Its visitors can be charmed by its deep valleys and dominant slopes covered by forests whose species composition is similar to natural stands. The landscape surrounding the local villages has been highly deforested since the first settlements, especially in shallow valleys of the upper parts of the flows. However, dense forests are growing on steep slopes of cut valleys. You can still find traces of iron ore, silver, gold and other minerals mining in the natural park´s territory. Quite specific and interesting karst structures occur in the vicinity of Sovinec.
Watterfalls of Rešov =============­======== National natural monument Watterfalls of Rešov occurs in Huntava brook valley. In the canyon valley surrounding the waterfalls there are well-preserved natural fir-beech stands with ferns and moss communities of shady rocks and fallen trunks. The area has been protected since 1966 and it was enlarged to its present size of 71.6 ha in 1989. The most significant species include hardly noticeable critically endangered Green Shield-moss (Buxbaumia viridis) which is included in the NATURA 2000 network. The waterfalls are made of 200 m long canyon pass which is 10m wide. The highest level of the waterfalls is 10 m high. Hardly noticeable residues of a medieval castle can be found quite close above the waterfalls, in the area over the confluence of Huntava and Tvrdkovský brook. There used to be a water mill in the past under the waterfalls.
