Description

The Lavin meadows are a good place for birdwatching as they have a large diversity of alpine and migratory birds. The scrub area around the Lavin meadows is home to species such as ťuhýk obecný, bělořit šedý and bramborníček hnědý. In the small areas of woodland you can see budníček horský and pěnice černohlavá which are both nice birds to see. The rarities that annually occur in the village include dudek chocholatý which can be seen during migration, and zedníček skalní can also be spotted during winter.
