The protected landscape area Malé Karpaty ( Slovak Chránená krajinná oblasť Malé Karpaty ) is a protected landscape area in western Slovakia , between Bratislava and Nové Mesto nad Váhom , along the main ridge of the Little Carpathians (Slovak Malé Karpaty ). It was proclaimed in 1976 and covers the entire mountain range from the Devínske Karpaty - with the Devínska Kobyla mountain near Devín (district of Bratislava) - over the Pezinské Karpaty and the Brezovské Karpaty to the end in the Čachtické Karpaty - near Čachtice and Nové Mesto nad Váhom - under protection. The area is largely located in the political districts of Bratislavský kraj (Okresy Bratislava III , Bratislava IV , Malacky and Pezinok ) and Trnavský kraj (Okresy Piešťany , Senica and Trnava ). In the northeast, a small part belongs to the Trenčiansky kraj (Okresy Myjava and Nové Mesto nad Váhom ).
The seat of the administration is in the town of Modra .
geography
The Little Carpathians are part of the Inner Western Carpathians and rise between the Záhorie lowlands in the west and the Slovak lowlands in the east and south-east. So they are the "green lungs" in the otherwise largely deforested lowlands of south-western Slovakia. Geologically speaking, it is a core mountain range. Despite the rather low altitude compared to other mountains in the Western Carpathians, the elevations in the vicinity of the plains appear quite noticeable. The highest mountains are called Záruby ( 768 m nm ), Vysoká ( 754 m nm ) and Vápenná ( 752 m nm ). Two small parts are separated from the main part: at the south end the Devínska Kobyla , at the north end the Čachtické Karpaty mountain range.
Two municipalities are completely within the protected landscape area: Buková and Dobrá Voda . The municipality of Píla is just inside.
At the southern end of the protected landscape area, the Danube flows through the Theben Gate on the Austrian-Slovakian border . The watershed between the March and Waag catchment areas runs through the main ridge . Only the brook Vydrica in the south flows directly into the Danube.
Flora and fauna
In the mountains there are only deciduous forests; beech , common ash , maple and linden are most common . Sweet chestnuts grow here from the non-native trees . In the warm climate you will mostly find warmth-loving plants such as spring Adonis , golden beard grass , pasque flower and Hainburg spring carnation . Among the species that grow only here in Slovakia belong Hader sheet , hippocrepis emerus and Rock Buckthorn .
To date, more than 700 species of butterflies and 20 ant species are known. The bird world is also very species-rich: Black stork , honey buzzard , short-toed eagle , eagle owl , long-eared owl and goat milker are represented . The saker falcon is the most common in Slovakia. You can find red chalk and wheatear around the numerous castle ruins .
tourism
The protected landscape area is the only extensive nature reserve in Slovakia with well-developed viticulture, especially in the eastern foothills. The wine region is called Malokarpatská vinohradnícka oblasť , and the winemakers have joined forces in the Malokarpatská vínna cesta ( Small Carpathian Wine Route) for better marketing . The southern end of the protected landscape area is covered with the Bratislavský lesný park , an urban forest of Bratislava, with many popular areas such as Koliba or Železná studienka. Weekend houses (slow. Sg. Chata ) are also very popular throughout the area, such as B. at Modra .
In the protected landscape area there are castles, in many cases already ruins, such as the Biely Kameň Castle near Svätý Jur , Červený Kameň Castle near Častá or Smolenice Castle near Smolenice .
Thanks to a very dense network of hiking trails, hikes in the entire mountains are possible. The E8 long-distance hiking trail runs through the mountains . The mountains also have many caves, but currently only the Driny cave near Smolenice is operated as a show cave.
