Cyclamen

• Cyclamen cyprium, known as the Cyprus
  cyclamen, is one of the 20 known species of
  cyclamen. It is endemic to the island of Cyprus
  and has been selected to represent the national
  flower of the country.
• The Cyprus cyclamen is a herb that grows from 7
  to a maximum of about 15 cm in height. It has
  simple, heart-shaped, fleshy leaves, which have
  long petioles and coarsely dentate margins.
• The undersurfaces of the leaves are
  characteristically rich purple or crimson-purple.
  Flowers appear in autumn, usually a little
  earlier than the leaves.
• The plant grows on shaded rocks, steep hillsides
  and stream banks, usually under trees and shrubs
  at an altitude of 50 to 1200 m.
• It flowers from September to January, but on
  occasion flowering is prolonged to March. Cyprus
  cyclamen is the only endemic of the three species
  of the genus Cyclamen found in Cyprus and grows
  on most of the island.

Der Enzian

• You can see the Gentian mostly in the north of
  the mountains. In the Alps there are 35 sorts of
  them. They stand for loyality because of its blue
  colour. They are under conservation.

Ipolytarnóc

• Its a nature reserve. Its the home of
  prehistoric world which was destroyed by a
  volcano 20 million years ago. It has been part of
  the Europian natural heritage since 1995. Here
  you can see 8 million year old trunks of mammoth
  pine tree which were found in the mine of
  Bükkábrány.

Golden oak

• In February 2006, the parliament of Cyprus
  selected the golden oak to be the country's
  national tree. Golden oak is a much branched
  evergreen shrub of small tree up to 10 m high.
  Due to its short stature (with relation to other
  oaks) it is sometimes referred to as the dwarf
  oak. Its leaves are simple, shining with serrated
  margins. They are dark green above and golden or
  brownish below.
• Golden oak is protected by the forest law of
  Cyprus and large forest expanses of the species
  have been proposed for inclusion in the Natura
  2000 ecological network of the European Union.

Troodos mountain

• Troodos is the taller mountain range of Cyprus
  with tops that reach in height the 1951 metres.
  With the narrow significance, Troodos is the
  region near the top of Chionistras. The three
  streets that connect the mountain with Nicosia,
  Limasol and the Prodromos A big village) meet
  there. His extent covers the 2/3 of the island,
  while it constitutes the sovereign morphological
  and geological trait of Cyprus. Troodos is an
  important pole of attraction of sightseers and
  place of recreation. Also the exploitation of
  coper which is found there, played a historical
  decisive role in the economy and culture of
  Cyprus. Troodos has rich flora which includes
  big number of endemic plants. Sovereign
  characteristic of vegetation are the pine trees.

Avakas gorge in akamas

• One of the natural wonders of our region is the
  Avakas Gorge. Avakas Gorge can be found 16 km
  west of Paphos at the beginning of the Akamas
  Peninsular. The spectacular gorge was created
  over thousands of years by a turbulent stream
  flowing over the limestone. It has carved walls
  up to 30m high, narrowing dramatically at one
  point, and sculptured beautiful and unique rock
  formations
•

Lakes

• Hévíz lake
• Salt lake

15
Hévíz lake

• Its the largest lake of hot medicinal water in
  Europe. This lake is a special formation, because
  its a spring-lake on a peat bed.

16
Salt lakes

• Larnaca Salt Lake lies to the west of the town of
  Larnaca. It is a complex network of four salt
  lakes of different sizes. The largest is lake
  Aliki followed by lake Orphani, lake Soros
  and lake Spiro. They form the second largest
  salt lake in Cyprus after the Limassol Salt Lake.
  
• It is considered one of the most important
  wetlands of Cyprus and it has been declared a
  special protected area under the Barcelona
  Convention and an Important Bird Area (IBA).
  Besides its picturesque beauty, it is one of the
  important migratory passages through Cyprus.
  Among them, are 2-12, 000 flamingos which spend
  their winter months there.
• During the winter months the lake fills with
  water whilst in the summer the water evaporates,
  leaving a crust of salt and a haze of grey dust.
  Salt harvested from this lake used to be one of
  the island's major exports, being collected by
  donkeys, carried to the edge of the lake and
  piled up into huge pyramidal heaps.

Cyprus mouflon- "agrino"

• The Cyprus Moufflon or ?grino is a type of wild
  sheep that combines the beauty of a deer and the
  agility of a goat and exists only in Cyprus.
• We find them in small herds in the forest of
  Pafos, in steep regions, where the dominant
  vegetation is a type of low bush latzia that
  also exists only in Cyprus. It is a protected
  animal and its hunting is prohibited.
• The mature male agrino is strong and beautiful,
  with big round horns. Its fur in winter is dense
  and has the colour of coffee. During summertime,
  its fur becomes short and shiny. The length of
  its horns is between 45 and 60 cm. The female
  does not have horns.

The Imperial eagle

• Its an endangered species all over the world. It
  lives on the plains of Euroasia. There were about
  12 pairs of them in the 1970s in Hungary. Today
  you can find 85 pairs.
