Name
In 1597, the locality was called Medvědí louka (literally 'Bear Meadow'). Today it is named after a nearby hunting lodge located outside the protected area, which was originally called Nová Louka (i.e. 'new meadow'), later Panský dům, and today is called Šámalova chata. The meadow is sometimes referred to as Šámalova louka.[2]
