Flowers of Slovakia

This tour offers the best cross-section of Slovak flora in June. The country boasts large areas belonging to the Western Carpathians and marginal areas of Pannonian basin are found there too.The holiday is ideally balanced. Rich steppic flora on limestone is combined with typical Carpathian forest flowers, marshy areas and at the very end also with the alpine zone of the High Tatras. Slovak Karst together with its Hungarian counterpart Aggtelek is the largest karst area north of the Alps. The rich flora is represented by several eastern elements the flagship being local endemic Turna Golden Drop. Much forested areas of Central Slovakia have wonderful array of mountain flowers. Lady´s Slipper or Alpine Clematis are not uncommon there. Plants of subalpine meadows of the high ranges will be just awakening after long winter but there will be already dozens of species out to please us. Least Primrose or Alpine Buttercup stand high among them. Finally, mires and wet meadows will be searched for the Moor King, orchids and butterflies.
