The presence of non-native Sika deer (Cervus nippon nippon) in the wild in the Czech Republic has been tolerated for several decades. Sika deer are attractive game animals, and therefore, the hunters have no interest in reducing their numbers. The undemanding and adaptable Sika deer has taken full advantage of this. In some areas in the Czech Republic, the invasion of Sika deer has reached such proportions that it is almost impossible to find a natural habitat without having been significantly damaged by them. The fact can be well illustrated by examples of long-term monitoring plant species and communities in the Slavkovský les/Slavkov Forest (western Bohemia).

Our predecessors—naturalists, local historians, and members of ornamental societies/ beautification associations and tourism clubs—took an interest in the landscape among the towns of Turnov, Jičín, and Mnichovo Hradiště, nowadays located on the border of Central Bohemia, northern Bohemia and eastern Bohemia, as early as the 19th century. But when did the name “Český ráj/Bohemian Paradise” first appear in connection with the landscape around the Trosky/Ruins Castle? For decades, it has been claimed that the name was coined by 19th-century Prague writers, led by Jan Neruda and Eliška Krásnohorská. They used to go to the spa of Sedmihorky for recreation, and it was there that the name “Český ráj/Bohemian Paradise” was born.
