Lačnov crocus meadows

In early spring the meadows near Lačnov bloom with thousands of white and violet crocuses — a small miracle that draws photographers from across the country.

At the turn of March and April, the meadows above neighbouring Lačnov turn into a white-and-violet carpet as thousands of white crocuses bloom — a rare protected flower that survives here thanks to centuries of gentle farming.

The bloom lasts only a few weeks and draws photographers and botanists from across the country. Come on a weekday morning when the meadows are quietest — and please keep to the marked paths, the crocuses are strictly protected.
