Abstract: The River Pinka originates in eastern Austria and reaches the territory of Hungary at first near Felsőcsatár. The river cuts through the Nagyvilágos Hill forming a gorge. This unique landscape is home to special flora and fauna. The floristic and vegetation studies conducted in the area have mainly focused on vascular plants, while the bryophyte flora has not been thoroughly investigated so far. The main aim of this study was to explore the bryophyte diversity and distribution
patterns in the Hungarian part of the Pinka Gorge. During the fi eld study, altogether 94 bryophyte species were found in the gorge. The 77 Bryophyta and 17 Marchantiophyta species belong to 57 genera of 34 families.Keywords: diversity, bryoflora, Felsőcsatár, Pinka Gorge
