SR: Small Carpathians – In Spring Nature
Spring is about to start. Slopes and valleys of the Small Carpathians lost their last remains of snow. Sun rays shine more intense, days are getting longer, nature in the area of the Small Carpathians protected area is about to wake from its winter sleep. From under autumn leaves the first white blossoms of snowdrop peak out. At some places, their blossoms create white carpets. In the forests of the Small Carpathians, all other plants thrive as well, violets, buckrams. These make forests of the Small Carpathians more vibrant, more colorful. Nature comes back to life again, first spring blossoms grow and scramble above the ground to rule over the born-again Small Carpathian forest.
