Podtrosecká údolí, Nature reserve in Český ráj, Czech Republic.
Podtrosecká údolí is a nature reserve in Český ráj protecting the largest complex of wetland habitats in the area. It covers canyon-like valleys lined with sandstone rocks, with flowery meadows between the ponds, and is fed by the Želejovický stream, the Jordánka and the Žehrovka.
The reserve was created in 1999 by merging two older reserves, Údolí Žehrovky and Rašeliniště Vidlák, both declared in 1985. Its pond system, fed by the Želejovický stream, Jordánka and Žehrovka, was built around the 16th century. In the Middle Ages Nebákov castle stood on a spur above the pond of the same name.
Věžický rybník, called Věžák, was a filming location for the 1978 film 'Jak dostat tatínka do polepšovny'. The educational trail through the valleys, opened in 1980, runs about 8 km from Borek pod Troskami to the Trosky castle ruin and has 13 information stops on the area's history, plants, animals and geology.
