The Hodonínská Dúbrava/Hodonín Oak Grove House of Nature
‘Pannonian oak forest on sand’. This is a title of a unique habitat of open-canopy/coppice oak groves that have been preserved north of the town of Hodonín (South Moravia) covering some hundreds of hectares. Extraordinary geological conditions and centuries of using them by humans resulted in remarkable species diversity. Rather paradoxically, species that elsewhere occur in steppes and meadows are the main target of nature protection, conservation and management there.
