Vyšná Rybnica between nature, water and culture

Nature

Several protected areas explicitly include Vyšná Rybnica. The Vihorlat Protected Landscape Area (CHKO Vihorlat) extends into the cadastral area of Vyšná Rybnica. The Vihorlat Natura 2000 site also includes the cadastral area of Vyšná Rybnica. The Machnatý vrch Nature Reserve is located in the same cadastral area. It covers 3.18 hectares and protects rare moss communities dominated by grey cushion moss (Leucobryum glaucum).

Lake Morské oko extends into the cadastral area of Vyšná Rybnica and is 25 metres deep on average. The ponds near Vyšná Rybnica were included in the winter waterbird census in the Vihorlat Protected Landscape Area (CHKO Vihorlat). Thus, different forms of protection and descriptions of bodies of water exist side by side in this natural area: the references include protection categories, a specific area, the average depth of a lake and the inclusion of ponds in a seasonal census.

Water and cycling

The VN Vyšná Rybnica fishing water is a 5-hectare body of water near Vyšná Rybnica. The designation simultaneously classifies the body of water as a fishing water and explicitly states its size.

The Kaluža–Vyšná Rybnica cycling route passes through Vyšná Rybnica and continues to the local water reservoir. Its course is therefore described beyond the village as far as this reservoir. The body of water and the cycling route are two distinct local features, each associated with a specific name, size or route description in Vyšná Rybnica.

Culture

The Greek Catholic Church of Vyšná Rybnica is dedicated to the Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God. This dedication gives the religious building a clearly defined religious affiliation. A virtual tour is also embedded on the page about the Greek Catholic Church of Vyšná Rybnica.
