Our first trip

The Lužické Mountains aren´t a large area in northern Bohemia.They form the border between the Czech Republic and Germany. The small part in Germany is called The Zitava Mountains/ Zittauer Gebirge/. The highest mountain is called Luž and it is 793m high.
More than a half of this area is covered in forests/ in the past it used to be maily beech and fir, nowadys it is spruce and pine./ On the top of the mountain range there is an important watershed between The North and Baltic Seas.
Since 1976 The Lužické Mountains have been put on the list of the protected areas and the most precious places are the part of the 16 smaller protected areas.
We are going to visit some of them during this school year. The first is the mountain Klíč / in translation – KEY/
Key- is 760m high and from the top of this mountain there is a beautiful view all around. The mountain is created from PHONOLITE.
KEY- the natural reservation proclaimed in 1967, there are rare plants,
birds which nest here are for example-RAVEN, FALCON
we can also meet a CHAMOIS / a special type of a mountain goat /
