VKP Babylon and Popelka Valley
The forest meadow on Babylon Hill is part of the significant landscape feature Babylon and the Popelka Valley, registered in 2010 due to the presence of valuable biotopes with the occurrence of specially protected and various degrees of endangered plants.
In this site, Broad-leaved Helleborine (Epipactis helleborine) can be found, Globe flower (Trollius altissimus) used to grow here, and snowline wintergreen (Pyrola minor) was found in the southern forest edge.
The meadow was not mowed for a long time until 2021, and due to the absence of mowing there was a reduction in the diversity of the herb floor and an increase in competitive species such as bush grass (Calamagrostis epigejos), common nettle (Urtica dioica), creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense), broad-leaved dock (Rumex obtusifolius), St. John's wort (Hypericum maculatum), Holcus millis (Holcus millis) cabbage thistle (Cirsium loeraceum).
