The mosaic of peat, thistle and mead wort meadows is located south of Smržovka. The meadow has been unmanaged for a long time and has gradually been subject to degradation. Locally, blackberry bushes have begun to expand, old-growth has accumulated, and there has been a proliferation of mead wort, broadleaf cattail, creeping velvet grass and other competing taxa. Locally, plants of the Lysimachia family have been expanding (both species of march orchids and alsdo march valeriana still occur in some places). In the preserved parts, the dominant vegetation is mainly peat bog and swamp horsetail.

Of the conservation-important species, the following grow here: Dactylorhiza fuchsii, Dactylorhiza majalis, Epilobium palustre, Chrysosplenium – 6 – oppositifolium, spring snowdrop (Leucojum vernum), creeping willow (Salix repens ), marsch valerian (Valeriana dioica), Valeriana excelsa subsp. sambucifolia, and white lobelia (Veratrum album subsp. lobelianum). Other rarer species include, for example, sneezewort (Achillea ptarmica), common cottongrass (Eriophorum angustifolium), star sedge (Carex echinata) or carnation sedge (Carex panicea).

At this location, during the summer of 2022, we started management consisting of manual mowing of the grass vegetation.
