Motto:I plant treesthat will be of benet for the coming generations.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Colonization of the territory on which the present Czech Republic is situated began four thousand years ago. At that time, forests were something

that prevented rapid development on the one hand, but on the other hand they were sources of utilities that people could certainly not do without.

Game animals and wood were of great use and importance for the settlers. However, the forests had to be cut down and stumps pulled out so that elds

for growing cereals could be established. Whenever human society prospered in the past, forests were felled and exploited to such an extent that their

very existence was jeopardized. On the contrary, at the times of raging wars when the development of the society stagnated, forests could take a rest from

the unceasing demands on timber and other utilities.

In the 18th century, enlightened rulers realized that the development of the society will not be possible without regular and continual timber production.New forest laws were adopted and state forest administration was constituted. This was the time when the principle of sustainable forest management

originated, which enables future generations to draw on the ecologically clean raw material and other utilities from the natural renewable resource.

In the course of the twentieth century, forests in the territory of the present Czech Republic witnessed rather turbulent times, especially changes

in property rights provoked by the two world wars. At the beginning of the 20th century, the state did not own any forests with just a few exceptions.

Contrary to that time, practically all forests were in the possessions of the state at the end of the 1980s. Changes in the property ownership do not

contribute to good management; nevertheless it can be stated that the forests are in a relatively good condition today with their surface area being

at the historical ly highest level in the last 300 years. Problems inherited from our ancestors become gradually rectied.

Dear readers, the publication that you have a chance to open today refers to the most beautiful forest localities in the Czech Republic, providingthe most important data and putting a primary emphasis on the fact that despite all political and property ownership changes which occurred in our country,

Czech foresters have succeeded in preserving the forests for us contemporaries for their beauty, natural wealth and general benet.

The Czech Republic is a land-locked country in Central Europe with a rich cultural, historical and natural wealth. With the area of 79,000 sq km it ranks

among medium-sized European states. It is of a similar size to Austria or Ireland but it would t into the territory of France 7 times or 122 times to the United

States territory. The population of 10.2 million (130 inhabitants per sq km) makes it one of the medium populated European countries.

The Czech Republic is situated in temperate geographical latitudes of the northern hemisphere. The climate of the CR can be thus referred to as temperate,

being however at the same time very diverse locally and throughout the year. Climatic conditions in different regions of the CR vary main reason for this

being the altitude. In general, with the increasing altitude mean air temperatures are decreasing and precipitation is increasing. Waters and mountain ranges

are important elements constituting the singular relief diversity of the Czech Republic. Experts refer to the territory of the Czech Republic as to the roof

of Europe because a so-called main European watershed running across the Czech Republic divides the drainage areas of northern and southern seas.

Forest and other wooded areas which cover roughly 34 % of the countrys territory represent another typical feature of the Czech dissected landscape. Large

forest areas remain preserved for the pleasure and need of the coming generations thanks to the far-seeing endeavour of forest managers. The remarkably

high density of interesting historical sights in combination with the well preserved nature form a singular framework for learning about cultural roots and at

the same time for peaceful relaxation in the natural environment that has been sensitively inuenced by man in the Central European landscape. Almost all

forests occurring in the Czech territory are open to public.

Come to see and learn this cosy and pleasant country with remarkable and colourful natural beauties and exceptionalhistorical and cultural traditions!

Total acreage of forest properties in the Czech Republic amounts to approximately

2.6 million hectares and is slightly increasing. Similarly as all other forestry technical

data, gures on the actual forest area are annually updated in the Report on the Stateof Forests and Forestry in the Czech Republic (Green Report) published by the

Ministry of Agriculture which is available at www.uhul.cz. Nearly 60 % of the forest area

is in state possessions, which is a remnant of the socialist orientation of the country

before 1989, the year when the change of the political system occurred. In the aftermath

of these changes, the process began of returning the forest properties into hands

of the original private owners whose land was nationalized in the 1950s. At present,

about 23 % of total forest lands are in private ownership and the restitution process has

been almost nished.

After the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union in 2004, forestry began to be perceived not only as an industrial sector, but primarily as an

integral part of rural development. Technological platform based on forestry and its products forms a singular model of sustainable development on the basisof a natural renewable resource which is unattainable for other sectors of the economy. This fact reects namely in a possibility existing for the forest owners

to benet from various subsidies for due management of their forests from both national and European resources.

One of the possibilities of supporting higher utilization of timber and wood products is the certication of forest resources which comply with the criteria

of sustainable management. Certication organizations with activities in the Czech Republic are PEFC (Pan European Forest Council) and FSC (Forest

Stewardship Council) which are part of supranational networks of these organizations.

The data were borrowed from the Green Report for the year 2006.

The increase of total timber reserves in the Czech territory has been continuing without interruption already since the 1930s when the monitoring of these

data was commenced. Like in the remaining part of Europe, annual increments exceed the volume of harvested timber.

The growing pressure on the fullment of specic forest functions led to the division of forests into the categories of production forests, protection forests

and special purpose forests already in the past. Assurance of non-wood-producing roles predominates over the economic aspect in the last two categories.

Apart from this economic classication, nearly 28% of the forest surface area belongs to particularly protected areas which are subject to special protection

regimes national parks, protected areas and nature monuments.

The sphere of forestry falls under the competence of several state departments especially the Ministry of Agriculture which has its own forestry section

and the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry for Regional Development. The fact is also responsible for the existence of several legal regulations which

directly concern the sphere of forestry. It is mainly the Act No. 289/1995 Coll. the so-called Forest Act which is supplemented by decrees. Further acts

of importance are the Act No. 114/1992 Coll. on nature and landscape protection, Act No. 149/2003 Coll. on the marketing of forest reproductive material,

Act No. 449/2001 Coll. on game management and many others.

With respect to forest management, the Act No. 289/1995 Coll . (Forest Act) which sums up two centuries of experience of Czech foresters in the sphere

of sustainable management on forest lands is of essential signicance. One of the basic obligations of forest owners is particularly the compulsory reforestation

Forestry in the Czech Republic

of logged-over plots in forest stands, while an increased emphasis is laid on the correct species composition

with a corresponding proportion of broadleaved species. The felling volume is limited by size of the

logged-over area, the so-called clear-felled area. Great deal of attention is also paid to the protection

of forest stands from abiotic (e.g. wind, snow, air pollution) as well as biotic (insect pests, game) factors.All legal measures are regularly inspected by state administration bodies and their violation is strictly

sanctioned.

With respect to the enormous impact of forest management on the landscape, forest activities are

subject to long-term planning. There are currently several levels of forest management planning

in the Czech Republic. The most complex national planning instrument is the National Forestry Programme

(NLP) which is the result of cooperation between several state departments and which has broad ties to

international activities, namely to the European Union. Lower level planning is represented by regional

forest development plans (OPRL) which are elaborated for 41 natural forest regions for the period

of 20 years. Forest management plans (LHP) and forest management concepts (LHO) valid for the periodof ten years serve the level of individual forest properties. Professional level of forest management is

ensured by the institution of a forest manager who is a licensed person guaranteeing expert treatment

of forest property for the forest owner in accordance with the law.

Velk Javoina Mt., mountainpeak of the White Carpathiansns

The Velk Javoina Mt. (970 m a. s. l.) is located in the Czech-Slovak borderland in the central

part of the White Carpathians. It is not only a far-reaching panoramic viewpoint, but also

a place of national signicance. Every year in July, celebrations of the brotherhood of Czechs

and Slovaks take place there.

Forests covering the slopes of the Velk Javoina Mt. were declared national nature reserve

for their extraordinary natural values. Most of the area is covered by herb-rich beechwoods.

Steeper slopes are dominated by talus forests with the sycamore maple and European ash.

The stands are characterized by the profusely differentiated stand structure. Thanks to harsh

climatic conditions, tree tops are of bizarre, often malformed shapes. The virgin forest reserve

was declared by the original owners the Lichtenstein family in 1909.

The White Carpathians are one of the cleanest and best preserved areas. The long-lasting close

attachment of inhabitants to the local environment has created charming landscape scenery.

Frequent deforestations in the past resulted in a singular complex of herb-rich meadows with

scattered trees, representing today a typical landscape character of the White Carpathians which

picturesquely combines in the central and northern part with relatively scarce settlements

of former mountain cottagers, originating during the late Wallachian colonisation in the 17thand 18th centuries. The White Carpathians rank with the localities of greatest species diversity

in Europe, representing at the same time one of places with the highest occurrence of orchid

family plants (orchids) in Central Europe.

Chiby Mts.

The Chiby Mts. are not very large but very attractive and sometimes even mysterious mountain

range with the colourful history. Representing the westernmost promontory of the Carpathians

in our territory they separate the Han lowlands in the north from the Slovcko lowlands

in the south. The highest point is Brdo Mt. (587 m a. s. l.).

Temperate climate, extensive forest complexes, abundance of game and fertile soils together

with the sufcient amount of water predestined the ancient landscape settlement. Groups

of hunters settled down in the central reaches of the Morava River already 30,000 40,000 years ago

at the times when the region was one of the most densely populated areas in Central Europe.

In the course of time, the mountain range had a strategic position for controlling the ancient Amber

Path leading along the Morava River from the Adriatic to the Baltic sea. After the arrival of Slavs,

a large economic, religious, military and administrative centre called Veligrad was gradually coming

to existence here, to later become also the centre of the Great Moravian Empire. In the Middle Ages,

the Chiby Mts. were controlled by the lords of the royal castles of Buchlov and Cimburk.

The Chiby Mts. have remained until today a region with the least altered species composition.

The territory is dominated by beech-oak and oak-beech woods. Hornbeam-oak woods and

exceptionally thermophilic oakwoods with the pubescent oak are represented only in lower

altitudes. The highest elevations are dominated by beech woods. Typical of the Chiby Mts. are rocky

outcrops of ysch sandstones such as the Kozel or the Budaina rocks. There are very valuable

landscape areas to be found here, romantic and quiet forest creeks, rocks, fountains or deep

valleys. In the Chiby Mts., there are 12 small-scale particularly protected areas and 2 natural parks.

For the extremely good state a nearly whole area of the Chiby Mts. has been proposed to become

part of the Natura 2000 network.

Pustevny and National Nature ReserveKnhyn

The Pustevny mountain resort is situated in a mountain saddle between the peaks of Radho and Tanenice at an altitude

of 1,018 m a. s. l. In the mid 18 th century, a hermitage was established near the rst wooden Radho chapel. When it

became deserted, the place started to be called Pustevny (poustevnk is Czech for hermit). Towards the end of the 19 thcentury the area came to be managed by the members of the tourist club Pohorsk jednota Radho (Radho Mountain

Fellowship). In 1891, the club built the rst shelter hut called Psteva and a complex of shelter huts was constructed

there in the following decade, out of which the most famous ones Libun and Mamnka were designed by the

Slovenian architect Duan Jurkovi in the folk art nouveau style. Nearly a hundred years later, the complex of buildings

became a national cultural monument.

By taking the ridge road in the western direction and passing along the statue of the pagan god Radegast by Albn

Polek, the native of Frentt pod Radhotm, one can easily reach the peak of the Radho Mt. (1,129 m a. s. l.) with

the chapel originating from 1898 and a sculptural group of Cyril and Method from 1905 made by the same sculptor.

The Knhyn ertv mln National Nature Reserve occupies the summit and the adjacent sharply inclined slopes

of the Knhyn Mt. (1,257 m a. s. l.) and the massif of the ertv Mln Mt. (1,206 m a. s. l.) separated by a shallow saddle

characteristic by a frequent occurrence of rock outcrops and pseudokarst phenomena. Some 750 m to the southeast

of the Knhyn Mt. top, already out of the limits of the reserve, there is the Knhysk jeskyn Cave National Nature

Reserve with the ascendable length of 280 m and with the deepest pseudokarst abyss existing in the Czech Republic,

called the Knhysk propast Abyss which is 57.5 m deep. The main tree species in the summit part of the mountain

is Norway spruce with the preserved original population of montane ecotype; European beech and silver r are

represented in lower elevations. Noble tree species are represented by alpine currant (Ribes alpinum) and wulf(Ribes

petraeum) in the highest elevations.

The Adrpasko-teplick skly RocksNational Nature Reserve (NNR)

They belong to the Broumovsk vrchovina Upland which is formed by an extensive depression with broken relief

inserted into the borderland space between the elevated ridges of the Krkonoe Mts. and the Orlick hory Mts.

This region is prevailingly formed by secondary Cretaceous marine sediments from siliceous block sandstones.

The Adrpasko-teplick skly Rocks (509 786 m) are formed by a gullied tabular plateau with inversion ravines

and castellated rocks of sandstones. Superelevation of rock towers and pillars is over 100 m. The local rock cities

are characterized by the most pronounced temperature inversion in the CR. Humid and cold microclimate

of the canyons and mountain passes enables the occurrence of invertebrate animals and glacial relics. Preserved

natural forest communities are relic pinewoods and fragments of water-logged spruce woods occurring in the

inversion locations.

The highest point of the Cretaceous formation with block sandstones is the p Mt. (786 m a. s. l.). The rock

city was allegedly discovered by Silesian merchants in 1734. The massifs of castellated rocks were later more

exposed only after a great re (1824).

The territory of the Adrpasko-teplick skly Rocks with the total area of 1,803 ha is included among the

special purpose forests as a national nature reserve. A 460 ha-large section of this territory is a decreed gene

pool for pine (spruce) as an upland phenotype of the Adrpach pine and inversion spruce at the altitudes

of 500 700 m a. s. l. The NNR territory is included into Zone 1 of the Broumovsko Protected Landscape Area as

a Small-Scale Particularly Protected Area (MZCH). At the same time, it is the locality of European signicance

and the avian habitat of Natura 2000. Important elements in the region are relic pinewoods in the summit parts

of rocks.

The Krkonoe Mts. The Rov hora Mt.

Dominant peaks of the Snka Mt. (1,601 m a. s. l.), the Studnin hora Mt. (1,554 m a. s. l.) and the Rov

hora Mt. (1,390 m a. s. l.) constitute the highest ridge elevations in the eastern Krkonoe Mts. The Rov

hora Mt. is the main upper spot height of the Rohorsk rozsocha Spur district which is situated 2 km

to the south of the Snka Mt. and where a transfer station of the cableway Pec pod Snkou Rov

hora Snka is located. The crest section of the Rov hora Mt. ridge is formed by a slightly undulating

plateau with the best preserved complex of autochthonous dwarf pine in the Krkonoe Mts. The crest

plateau descends in a steep west north-western slope to the bottom of the Ob dl Vale cirque into

the pa Torrent. Eastern hillsides take up widely stretched medium inclined sloping locations protected by

the Rohorsk rozsocha Spur from the west and the Snka Mt. massif and the Ob Crest from the north.

End parts of the eastern slopes fall sharply as rocky cliffs into the Jelen potok Brook which drains water

into the Mal pa River. This area called Koule is divided by the Koulov and Kov potok Brooks with

steep declining slopes. Due to the sheltered lee locations and to the fact that the whole area closely belowthe upper forest boundary was totally inaccessible in the past, the forests used to regenerate naturally

from autochthonous stands. Today, they have become the high quality stands and the most valuable gene

pool of the Krkonoe Mts. spruce covering the surface area of 450 ha aged approximately 200 years in

altitudes ranging between 1,060 1,300 m a. s. l. At the present time, the forest stands exhibit a more or less

decreasing density and regenerate naturally.

The forests are classied in the category of protection forests. Recently, they have been damaged locally by

a windthrow disaster accompanied by the occurrence of bark beetles. The whole area is included in the gene

pool reserves for alpine spruce (gene pool Koulov potok Brook) and for dwarf pine (gene pool Vchodn st

Part).

The Moravian Karst and the TrainingForest Enterprise KtinySingular combination of teaching and demonstration forest premises in the protected karst area of European

signicance

The Protected Landscape Area of Moravian Karst is one of the most important karst regions in the Czech Republic with

the singular living and non-living environments, rich archaeological and paleaontological artefacts and numerous

cultural monuments. The most precious parts of the region are protected in eleven nature reserves, four national

nature reserves and two national nature monuments.

The Masaryk Forest Training Forest Enterprise (TFE) in Ktiny is an organizational part of Mendel University

of Agriculture and Forestry Brno. The university uses the TFE as a singular special-purpose facility with a lot

of forest structures, environmental and timber production demonstration objects for teaching and practical training

of students in the lines of forestry, landscaping and wood technology and, last but not least, as an excursion and

instruction facility of extraordinary signicance. The Ktiny TFE is situated in the Moravian Karst area.

The main local tree species are spruce, pine and larch. Broadleaved species are represented by beech and oak. Also

r starts reappearing in the forest stands, which shows signs of regeneration. Larch, the population of which is

referred to as the Adamov larch, has outstanding growth characteristics.

The Lednice-Valtice Area and the PlavaHills

The largest man-made landscape complex in Europe has been listed by UNESCO as nature monument

The largest man-made landscape complex of the Lednice-Valtice Area was rightfully put on the World Heritage List

of UNESCO in 1996. The whole area is one of the most remarkable natural and cultural historical areas in Central Europe.

It is considered to be the most extensive cultural landscape complex in Europe and probably also worldwide. Between

two centres Valtice and Lednice there is a designed landscape with a multitude of ponds and parks with the romantic

structures of castles, colonnades and forest temples. The landscape also includes the largest preserved remainder

of the oodplain forest in Europe. Hardwood oodplain stands of pedunculate oak and narrow-leaved ash and small plots

of inundated meadows have been preserved in the Dyje River alluvial plain.

The Plava Hills as a part of the Lednice-Valtice Area are located in the north-western promontory of the Pannonian plain.

The manifold mosaic of arid rock grasslands, fringe communities, xerophilous shrubs and termophilic oak woods which

originated partly under the impact of grazing is referred to as a karst forest steppe. Plateaus are dominated by open loess

oak woods with the rich herbaceous undergrowth while north-facing slopes and valleys are covered by Pannonian oak-

hornbeam woods.

In 2004, the Biosphere Reserve of Doln Morava (Lower Morava) sized 320 sq km was established around the conuence

of the Dyje and Morava rivers by connecting the Lednice-Valtice Area with the Plava Protected Landscape Area and with

the oodplain forests.

The Bohemian Switzerland NationalParkwas declared on 1st January, 2000, in the most valuable part of the Protected Landscape Area

of Labsk pskovce (Elbe Sandstones), covering a total area of 79 sq km out of which 97 % are forests.

It neighbours on the Saxon Switzerland National Park (Nationalpark Schsische Schweiz) which

is right across the national border between the Czech Republic and Germany. The main role

of the national park consists in the protection of geomorphological values, wild growing plants,

animals livingin the open nature and in the preservation of the typical landscape appearance.

In the territory of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park (BSNP), near the Labe River in Hensko,

there is the lowest point of the Czech Republic 115 m a. s. l. (the highest point of the BSNP being the

Rk Hill 610 m a. s. l.). There are deep canyon valleys of the Kinice River and the lower reaches

of the Kamenice River and their afuents. The majority of the varied shapes chimneys, ravines,

gullies, passes, canyons, rock circuses, rock towns and arches, etc. were formed in strongly ssuredmiddle Turonian thick-bedded sandstones. The most signicant rock formation is the Pravick

brna Rock arch (National Nature Monument) which is 30 m wide and 20 m high. The sandstone

surface does not occur in locations over 500 m a. s. l. Some elevations are conditioned by intrusions

of volcanic bodies. The basalt Rk Hill (NNR) is the most important one. Thick-bedded sandstones

contain roughly 98 % of SiO2

and completely lack any nutrients; in contrast, the basalts are rich

in nutrients.

The BSNP is characterized by temperature inversions which are most distinct in deep ravines.

The cold climate of these localities enabled the natural occurrence of spruce in very low elevations.

Its permanent presence in the area is documented by pollen analyses for at least the last 9,000 years.It is also accompanied by some montane and submontane species which have the lowest occurrence

in the CR in this locality: three-lobed bazzania (Bazzania trilobata), r clubmoss (Huperzia selago), stiff

clubmoss (Lycopodium annotinum), deer fern (Blechnum spicant), chickweed-wintergreen (Trientalis

europaea), reedgrass (Calamagrostis villosa), clasping twistedstalk(Streptopus amplexifolius), two-

ower violet (Viola biora). As to other plant species, interesting is the occurrence of wild rosemary

(Ledum palustre) which atypically grows on the raw humus of sandstone rocks.

It follows out from the historical sources and from the palynological survey (Kune, Pokorn,

Abrahm 2005) that predominant tree species in the BSNP territory in the period of High Middle

Ages and in the following period up until the end of the 17th century were r and beech with

the admixture of oak, hornbeam, birch and pine, depending on local site conditions. The original

spruce grew in the shaded valleys. The current species composition is markedly altered chiey

in favour of spruce and pine. White pine for which favourable conditions exist here used to

be frequently planted on the former property of Count Kinsk starting with the 19th century.

It regenerates abundantly but from a perspective of a naturalist there is an increased effort aimedat its eradication with respect to its allochthonous origin outside the BSNP area. As of 2001, its area

representation in the BSNP was 2.7%. What is interesting with regard to this tree species is the shift

in opinion in the course of the last century. White pine started to be grown in Bohemia after 1773.

In the 1930s, it was assessed for example in the Hradec Krlov forests (verderer Rakuan) as a true

blessing and both the senior forest inspectors Ing. Lzovsk and Anger, and Dr. Ing. Guth saw it as

invaluable with regard to its soil-improving characteristics.

It should be also noted that Count Kinsk introduced the chamois (from the Alps) in the territory

of Tok in 1907, which spread to the wider surroundings of the Studen vrch Hill in the Luick hory

Mts. over time. The rarities of the original fauna are black stork, duck-hawk, Eurasian lynx, otter and

many other avian and animal species. A reintroduction was recently initiated of landlocked salmon.

The Diana Nature Reserve

The Diana Nature reserve is situated roughly one kilometre to the west of the village Diana

in the Tachov district. It was ofcially decreed in 1933 on the estate of the Kolowrat family.

The subject of protection are ancient herb-rich beechwoods (aged over 260 years) of virgin

forest type with the abundance of plant communities. They represent a remaining partof the original beech virgin forest occurring on the hilltop plateau of the Tskolupsk vrch

Hill (530 m a. s. l.) and on its northern and eastern slopes above the Kateinsk potok Brook

valley. The list of vascular plants includes more than 150 species; less common species are

for example ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris), lesser buttery-orchid (Platanthera

bifolia), mezereon (Daphne mezereum).

The stand has been long managed differently from the surrounding production forests. Prior

to the foundation of the reserve, there used to be a game preserve there. Long-term overgrowth

has resulted in a lower representation of younger age classes of the main tree species and thusin a considerable disturbance of the stand structure.

SOOS National Nature Reserve

The Soos NNR is an exception in the European context due to the frequent occurrence of mineral springs

(ca. 200) and dry carbon dioxide outbursts (CO2), forming the typical funnel-shaped holes the so-cal led

mofettes. A shallow basin lled with water with the seepage of mineralized water enabled the development

of halophyte plant species and microorganisms which otherwise exist only in the marine environment. Diatom

exoskeletons have created an up to 7 m thick layer of diatomaceous earth (diatomite) in the form of a protuberant

shield. High salinity of the environment prevents the growth of vegetation and salt eforescences of various

colours, mainly the white Glaubers salt, can thus develop on the soil surface. Deposits of mineralized fens and

peats of the transitional or raised bog types which used to be extracted here until the mid 20th century originated

around the springs.

In the NNR, there are small-scale water surfaces, extensive stands of reed, sedge and rush and bogs with

the occurrence of protected plant and animal species. Tree species stands are typologically categorized into

the group of bog pinewoods as pine birchwoods.

The umava National Park

The National Park originated in 1991 for the purpose of preserving a rich mosaic of ecosystems

of the Central European montane landscape, rare vast peatlands, spruce and beech primary

forests, montane meadows, unbound rivers and glacial lakes. It forms one of the largest

continuous forest complexes in Central Europe. It is frequently called a Europes green roof.

The forests cover more than 80 % of the total surface area. Tens of endangered plant and animal

species are at home here. Lynx, elk or grouse are especially worthy of attention. Some insect

species do not exist anywhere else but in the umava bogs.

The mission of the park is to preserve and improve its natural environment, protection and

regeneration of self-regulatory functions of local natural systems, particularly the strict protection

of free-living animals and wild plants, conservation of the typical face of the landscape, fullment

of scientic and instructional objectives as well as utilization of the NP territory for tourism and

environment-friendly relaxation.

The Pradd Mt. NNR

The National Nature Reserve of Pradd Mt. is located in the highest elevations of the Hrub

Jesenk Mts. in the central part of the Praddsk hornatina Upland. It came to existence by

the connection of 6 separate reserves Pradd Peak, Petrovy kameny Stones, Velk kotlina

Cirque, Mal kotlina Cirque, Bl Opava R. and Divok dl. The surrounding remarkable virgin

forest spruce stands were incorporated into the park as well.

In the central part there are unique alpine communities, virgin forest type stands and exceptional

geomorphological phenomena, glacial amphitheatres of Velk and Mal kotlina Hollows,

rock ows and block elds, polygonal soils, peatbogs, etc. There are also numerous plant

and animal species which are protected by international conventions (e.g. Bern Convention

on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats, Bern Convention on Bio-

diversity). Alpine biotopes are situated in the territory above the forest boundary (alpine tundra)

the Pradd Peak.

The Velk kotlina Cirque is one of the oristically richest localities not only in the CzechRepublic but also in Central Europe. Its shape was moulded by the glacier (it has the shape

of a glacial cirque).

The Bl Opava River is located on the south-eastern slope of the Pradd Mt. in a deeply

incised valley of the Bl Opava R. headwaters. Subject of protection are natural spruce stands

(genetic ecotype of mountain spruce) of virgin forest character.

In the Divok dl Vale there are autochthonous forest stands with the prevalence of spruce

with the admixed sycamore maple and beech.

The Bohemian Karst DoutnHill LocalityThe territory of the Bohemian Karst has been continuously inhabited by humans ever since

the primeval times. Despite the civilization pressures, forest stands growing on the calcareous

subsoil, which are a noteworthy example of karst vegetation, have remained preserved. Theselocations are protected within the framework of the Karltejn NNR.

A remarkable locality in the area is the Doutn Hill (433 m a. s. l.) with the occurrence

of rare termophilic vegetation, below the top of which on the south-eastern slope there is

a relatively vast turf steppe and gappy forest steppe with a frequent occurrence of pubescent

oak. Pubescent oak trees typically form clumps in the forest steppe, which pass into just

individual trees with its transition into the turf steppe. Most oak trees are of sprout origin with

short and warped stems. The forest steppe turns into hornbeam oakwoods on sites with more

favourable soil conditions. There are residuals of calcareous beechwoods on the northern side

of the Doutn Hill.

The Blank Hill

The original tree species composition consisting mainly of acidophilous oakwoods, r oakwoods

and acidophilous beechwoods was transformed into spruce monocultures in the period

of intensive management. Relics of the former species composition are apparent also around

the tops of the Velk and Mal Blank Hills. The current aim is to change the species composition

by itroducing the autochthonous tree species.

A good example of a very successful effort of foresters to introduce the autochthonous tree

species into existing stands and to thus increase the static and ecological stability of the forest

stands is a locality situated in a saddle between the Velk Blank and the Mal Blank Hills

along the road connecting Louovice pod Blankem with the village of Naeradec. Since 1956,

foresters have been applying the shelterwood system of small-area shelterwood felling with

the creation of beech ribs together with r and with the use of spruce plants from natural

regeneration.

The Protected Landscape Areaof TeboskoThe Tebosko Protected Landscape Area and Biosphere Reserve belong to the South Bohemianbasins Tebosk pnev Basin FAVZ 15b. This region is characterized by its shponds and

beautiful coniferous and broadleaved forests. The most important tree species is the local varietyof Scots pine, the so-called Tebo pine (Pinus sylvestrisvar. bohemica) with a thin, straightstem branching only in the top part and with a profuse production of non-resinuous wood. Thispine is highly valued commercially. Another tree species of importance is Swiss mountain pine

(Pinus rotundata). Swiss mountain pine together with Scots pine and their interspersed hybridconstitute tenths of hectares of uninterrupted bog forests in which we can nd also the biggest

population of marsh tea (Ledum palustre). There are nearly 400 Czech endangered plant speciesgrowing in the territory of the PLA out of which 104 are protected.

One of the most remarkable landscape phenomena of the Tebosko PLA are the pond damscovered with the stands of timber species. The riparian stands are formed by a rich mixture

of species (e.g. linden, alder, birch, aspen, etc.). Doubtlessly the most signicant tree specieshowever is the pedunculate oak the abundance of which can be estimated at several tensof thousands of adult individuals.

The subsoil of the Tebosk pnev basin is made up of Moldanubicum rocks.

Climatic region: temperately warm to humid with mild winters of upland type.

Czech foresters tend to ever more focus on public relations in the sphere of safeguarding

recreational roles of the forest as well as by providing sufcient and quality information.

Once every two years, a traditional forestry exhibition Silva Regina is held in Brno andsmaller exhibitions (Natura viva, Euroforest) take place annually. The Museum of Forestry,

Hunting and Fishery (hunting lodge Ohrada) which is a branch of the National Museum

of Agriculture in Prague is notable as well.

One of the public relations alternatives which a growing number of forestry entities becomes

engaged with, is forest pedagogy. Apart from classical activities taking place directly

in the forest, there are also accompanying programmes available within the framework

of the aforementioned expositions.

A newly established section Forest and the public in a professional journal Lesnick

prce (Forestry Work) is another evidence of the public relations importance. This section

introduces activities of diverse organizations active in this sphere.

The forest recreational function in the Czech Republic is sustained for example in the form

of the favourite cycling tracks, tourist routes and nature trails. In the recent years, also

several information centreswere established. For example, the Information and Education

Centre of the Forests of the Czech Republic (LR) in Kivoklt offers a host of forest pedagogy

activities as well as a visit to a recently opened interactive exposition Forests around us.

The exceptional and interesting exposition can draw attention of the visitors of all ages.

It was created in such a manner to make you feel as if you were really inside a forest. There are

exhibits of mammals and animal tracks on the oor which is covered by plant litter; visitors

are accompanied by the background music of a gurgling stream and birdcalls.

The Czech Republic is also represented in the international team of public relations experts

in the Forest Communicators Network(FCN) forestry sector. This team was constituted

by the UNECE Timber Committee and by the FAO European Forestry Commission.
