Bašnov, Natural monument in Střížovice, Czech Republic.

Bašnov is a 17.47-hectare protected wetland in a shallow natural depression on the Morava floodplain, 0.3 km southeast of Střížovice. Three drainage canals cross it and merge into the Panenská stream, which enters the Morava near Kvasice. The core marsh, about 6 ha, is dominated by common reed, broadleaf cattail and sedges, with orchards on the southern slope.

The site was drained farmland until the 1970s, when the Bašnov wetland was declared a protected natural formation. In 2004, the Střížovice site of Community importance was designated under Natura 2000, and in 2013 Bašnov became a natural monument.

The name Bašnov is used for the wetland and for the stream Panenská that drains it, formed where three drainage channels meet. Ten amphibian species live here, among them the fire-bellied toad (Bombina bombina), the subject of protection; in dry years the pools dry out completely.

Bašnov lies about 0.3 km southeast of Střížovice, 7 km from Kroměříž, in a shallow depression in the Morava floodplain at 185–187 m. Three drainage canals cross the marsh and join into the Panenská stream, which enters the Morava near Kvasice. The pools dry up completely in dry years, so the waterfowl and amphibians depend on rainfall.

The reserve shelters ten amphibian species, among them the critically endangered Lepidurus apus, a tadpole shrimp found in the pools. In dry years the water bodies dry out completely, which harms these populations. The common bladderwort was recorded here in 1982.
