Boč naturale reserve - presentation
The Boč nature reserve protects an extremely important part of Slovenia's natural heritage (geomorphological, botanical and dendrological landmarks) as well as several typical cultural and architectural sights. The forested areas give the appearance of a primeval forest, and a special feature of the region is the Norway maple.
Plenty of protected and rare plants grow on the southern slopes of Boč. The most typical of them is the pasque flower (Pulsatilla grandis) that grows around the church of St. Nicholas.
Its purple blooms open in early spring. Besides the pasque flowers, the slopes of Boč are also adorned by the rose daphne and auricula.
