The Narodní park Podyjí (National Park Thayatal) is a national park in the Czech Republic . It is located in South Moravia and extends mostly on the left Thayaufer between Znojmo (Znojmo) and Frain an der Thaya (Vranov nad Dyjí) over a length of about 40 km.
It forms a bilaterally agreed unit with the Thayatal National Park on the Austrian side .
2.54 km² of the core zone of the national park are certified as " wilderness " and are part of the wilderness areas of the European Wilderness Society .
Emergence
The first conservation efforts go back to 1979, when an area of 103 km² was placed under nature protection. Since the area was located directly at the Iron Curtain , it was not open to the public and nature could develop undisturbed.
After the turning point in 1989, the nature reserve was converted into a national park on July 1, 1991 by the government decree of the Czech Republic No. 164 Codex 1991 , which included an area of 63 km². The actual protected area is 29 km².
At the beginning of 2000 the national park was also established on the right Thayaufer on the Austrian side; Since then, a common protected area has been spread across both national territories, in which one can move unhindered since the Schengen Agreement .
location
The Thaya delimits the Czech part of the national park to the south with its valley cut into the Bohemian Massif up to 220 m deep . The Thaya has a meandering course here. The highest point of the park is 536 m nm , the lowest point is 207 m nm
flora
About 84% of the park is forested. Fir and European beech predominate in the west . In the eastern part you can find hornbeam , locust and oak . But other, more rare types of wood can be found here, such as rock cherry , Cornus , Cotoneaster or juniper . In some locations you can find the common pimpernuss, alpine rose and sycamore maple .
77 different specially protected plant species can also be found here. These include black germer , perennial silver leaf , wild cyclamen , mullein , pasque flower , two-color iris , Turkish lily and 18 different orchid plants .
fauna
Due to the felling of the oak forests in the Middle Ages, numerous pastures were created, which are now inhabited by a large number of different insect species. But a large number of mammals also animate the landscape. You can find otters as well as the great whiskered bat or the field shrew. Around 152 bird species, two thirds of which also nest here, such as black stork , hoopoe , honey buzzard , eagle owl and kingfisher live here.
The Aesculapian snake such as the eastern green lizard can be found on reptiles, the fire salamander and the crested newt on amphibians .
The most important fish are the brown trout and the European grayling .
