The true highlights of this location are the incredible views of the valley and the landscape reserve.
For our group, participation in the IUCN Forum was a unique and inspiring experience.
We have previously appealed to the Ministry regarding the need to transfer these premises.
This protected area consisted of two burial mounds (kurgans) and a steppe plot located between them.
The establishment of this reserve will effectively preserve a pine forest where individual trees are between 60 and 120 years old.
Among the rare aquatic vegetation, the survey identified plant communities of white water lily.
Among the rare species identified here is the very rare butterfly, the large skipper.
