SK: Small Carpathians – Walking in Devinska Kobyla in Spring
Devinska Kobyla national nature reserve is sitauted on the southwestern slopes of Devinska Kobyla (514 m). It belongs to the Male Karpaty mountain range. In spring, forests and forest-steppes of Devinska Kobyla became one large botanical garden. There you may enjoy colorfulness and diversity of local flora. Forests are covered by green carpets of ramsoms. Spring atmosphere is enhanced by common snowdrps and blue-purple nobleleafs. Somewhere we can spot Corydalis cava or violets. Open southwestern slope of Devinska Kobyla is even more beautiful for violet and white iris. Their yellow blossoms glare on sun-lit steppe and forest-steppe areas. Spring is beautiful in Devinska Kobyla. It is magical and diverse for waking nature of the Devinske KarpatY.
