Moses Spring – Emperor's Stone
Thanks to the Armillaria chapter of the ČSOP and the NET4GAS Closer to Nature programme, the ecologically very valuable region between Jablonec nad Nisou and Liberec has as of 2010 its own educational trail, on which hikers learn interesting facts about nature, wildlife, the importance of forest land, and its inhabitants. Visitors may also put their insights and knowledge about nature to the test by answering a number of quiz questions.

A 5 – 30 cm tall, hairy perennial, this flower grows on an erect stem with leaves near the ground that fully develop only after the blossoming fades. With erect flowers, and pale violet petals, it flowers from March to May. The fruit is an achene with a hairy appendage. It grows on sunny (primarily calciferous) slopes, stony and grassy steppes, often in lush groups of individual plants, and is a well-known symbol of spring in warmer climates.
