Fauna and flora

In order to restore the park to what it had looked like in earlier centuries, inventory research of the flora and fauna was carried out in 1997. It showed that there were 97 species of vertebrates living in the park, including European tree frog, grass snake, peregrine falcon, and several species of bats.
