Hike #9: An unexpected find (Czechia)

in OCD5 years ago (edited)

Let me share with you a short photo-report of hike across Hostýnsko-vsetínská hornatina (highlands) in Czechia back in May 27th. This report covers first day of this multi-day expedition. Detailed itinerary can be found at the bottom of this post. Enjoy!


Fauna

While on forest trail, I hear odd sounds, like peeping. So I follow the source. Well, here is the source: spooked young roe deer. Its mum popped out I guess. So I better leave it there as it seems to be in good shape (not injured).

Flora

The South Moravian region is well-known for its wild orchids. Here are a few. I simply love these protected flowers!

Mountain Tanečnice (912m). From this place, you can see other three
significant peaks. Don't you believe me? Keep reading then.

If you use binoculars, you can see Radhošť with communications tower, chapel and the chalet Radegast.

Refreshment

A chalet called Vsacký Cáb. You can have there local treat: Portáš beer (brewed in close town Zašová) and soup (valašská kyselica).

When you get to your destination in one peace, you start out exploration of the place. Karolinka is the name of the village. This is what I find there, green Easter beer.

Very interesting encounters :) (all sorts :D) Looking at the shoes, however, it must have been a pretty rough hike :D

Great post!

Amazing nature, just the way I like...

Happy you enjoyed it 😉

I love the flower

I was slightly disappointed by not finding different color variation though 😆

This was nice to watch! The baby deer looks adorable and the place oozes with natural beauty. Those boots are made for walkin', no better use than to put them to work.

Lovely pictures!

Indeed, true about the boots! 😉

Yep, keep'em dirty, keep'em running hahah

Your photography is awesome 😎

Thanks!

Very nice flowers and photos...
