Kuřidlo and Ryšová

Kuřidlo (545 metres above sea level)
Ryšová (527 metres above sea level)
Forested hills north and north-west of Strakonice with limestone foundation. In 1985 and 1990, they were declared a specifically protected area (Natural Reserve of Kuřidlo, 9 hectares, and Natural Monument of Ryšovy, 35 hectares) in order to preserve the remainders of natural linden and oak wood and acidic beechwood growth with emphasis on preserving the rich limestone-preferring flora. It is well accessible from Strakonice and spring is the most beautiful time for a visit (liverwort, wood anemone, Martagon Lily, White Helleborine...)
