Description:

Botanically speaking, south mountain ranges of Papuk - Pliš and Mališčak, are the most interested area of the Park of Nature Papuk. The locality is bordered with streams Veličanka and Stražemanka, on the shallow soils, with numerous sub-Mediterranean plants.
In the sheer paths, reefs and peaks, on the 350 to 600 m above sea level, there are dolomite rocks. In this area which is always exposed to the sun and without much moisture, grow forest of pubescent oak, and black ash-tree, with some individual trees hornbeam, chestnut, beech, and Austrian pine. Due to the evident decline of ground and thick bushes, the terrain is partially pathless, and in between the bushes, there are oases of rocky ground. Exposure to the sun, shallow soil, and hard approachability in the most dry terrains, enabled conditions for survival of rare and interested flora of the Park of Nature. In the Pliš and Mališčak there is a majority of protected flora species in Papuk.
