__________________
Case 1 (participants that go only by foot from the hotel), we propose:
- one field trip in the sub alpine meadows of the mountain above Sun Hill (up to 2500 m asl)
- one field trip in the sub alpine clearings of spruce forest in the northern slopes above Sun Hill (near 1800 m asl)
- one field trip in the mountain meadows / clearings near torrent of Leshnica (quite far to go by foot but feasible and long) 1400 m asl
Case 2 (participants that have normal cars or with our transport - mini wan), we propose in addition/alternatives:
- one field trip in the mountain wet meadows and rough grassland of v. Bozovce (very rich!) 1400 m asl
- one field trip in edge of deciduous hardwood forest around v. Lisec (1150 m asl or 1400 m asl)
- one field trip (but needs to walk 1000 m elevation, difficult !) to the sub alpine meadows around the lake near Kosovo border, above Vechala / Bozovce.
Case 3 (if you need enough jeeps for participants), you could add field trip more far from Sun Hill.
- one field trip (same as above but alternative with the jeeps) to the sub alpine meadows around the lake near Kosovo, above Vechala / Bozovce.
- one field trip to Ljuboten: Beech forest upper edge at 1600 m asl and, at 2000 m asl, macro-mosaic of thickets and of sub alpine meadows.
Each field trip should be with groups of 10 to 15 maximum persons!
