A Rocha Eco-centre’s living garden was created in the floodplain of the Zlatý Potok (Golden Brook), which was devastated by a flood in 1998. Today there is a wetland area with a system of pools with a large amount of aquatic vegetation, an edible forest, flowering meadows, a young arboretum, a fern garden, herb spirals, wild shrubs, two bird hides and various animal dwellings – brush piles for birds or snakes, dry walls, birdhouses and insect hotels.
The garden serves as a place for children to explore nature and for adults to take meditative walks and rest. The headquarters of the eco-centre is in a former mill, built in the time of Empress Maria Theresa and still flowing through the house today.
