The Kysuce Protected Landscape Area ( Slovak Chránená krajinná oblasť Kysuce ) is a protected landscape area in northwestern Slovakia , which is located in the traditional Kysuce landscape , and consists of two separate parts. The area is mainly in the political district of Žilinský kraj (Okresy Bytča , Čadca , Dolný Kubín and Žilina ), with smaller parts in Trenčiansky kraj (Okresy Považská Bystrica and Púchov ). The landscape protection area borders on the Czech landscape protection area Beskydy , the Polish landscape protection park Saybusch and the Slovak landscape protection area Horná Orava .

The administrative seat is in Čadca .

geography

Veľký Javorník

The protected landscape area is located in the Kysuce region north and northwest of Žilina and is made up of two different parts. However, the whole area lies in the outer Western Carpathians and is formed by flysch rock . The western part is in the Javorníky and Moravian-Silesian Beskids Mountains and in the Turzovská vrchovina Mountains and touches the Czech-Slovakian border. The highest mountain is Veľký Javorník ( 1071  m nm ). The eastern part lies in the Beskydy Mountains and is taken up by the Kysucké Beskydy and Kysucká vrchovina mountains ; he touches the Slovak-Polish border. The highest point is the Veľká Rača ( 1236  m nm ).

As a result of the late medieval Wallachian colonization, the area has a mosaic character, with alternating small settlements with old folk architecture as well as meadows, fields and forests.

The area belongs to the catchment area of ​​the Waag , mostly fed by the tributary Kysuca . Only in the Javorník Mountains do some of the streams flow directly into the Waag. Due to the impermeable flysch rock and the relatively advanced deforestation , the runoff is relatively fast, which can sometimes lead to local flooding.

Flora and fauna

Compared to the other extensive Slovak nature reserves, the area of ​​the CHKO Kysuce is relatively little forested with around more than 50%. Oaks are very rare, but beech and artificially introduced spruce monocultures are dominant. The original mixed forests are only found in the higher-lying border areas. The area is home to several peat and bog localities, where plants such as round-leaved sundew , ostrich fern , Turkish league and common columbine as well as many from the orchid family grow.

To date, more than 200 species of vertebrates are known. The western border of the distribution of large carnivores of Slovakia - brown bear , wolf and lynx - runs through the area . A Carpathian endemic is the Carpathian Newt .
