Svatý kopeček, Nature reserve in Mikulov, Czech Republic.

Svatý kopeček is a nature reserve near Mikulov featuring limestone cliffs that form an oval ridge with a flat top and steep slopes rising to 363 meters. Multiple hiking trails crisscross the hill, offering access to different sections where visitors can observe the native plants and animals.

Svatý kopeček was declared a nature reserve in 1946 on 37.2 hectares to protect the Jurassic limestone escarpment above Mikulov. Its chapels date from the 17th and 18th centuries, and a limestone quarry opened on the northeastern slope in 1816; after quarrying ended, parts were replanted with trees.

The hilltop carries a group of four 17th–18th-century chapels: St. Sebastian's, the largest, with a free-standing bell tower, plus the chapels of St. Rosalia, St. Barbara and the Holy Sepulchre. Together they form a regional pilgrimage centre above Mikulov.

The trails are accessible and suited to different fitness levels, allowing for both short walks and longer hikes. Wear sturdy footwear and bring water, especially on warmer days.

The reserve is the only place in the Czech Republic where Stipa eriocaulis grows; it was found here only in 1996. Between 1992 and 2002, 405 species of vascular plants were recorded on the hill, 28 of them specially protected. A pair of eagle owls nests in the old limestone quarry opened in 1816.
