Žebětín pond, Protected natural monument in Brno-Žebětín, Czech Republic.

Žebětín pond is a 4.42-hectare natural monument in Brno-Žebětín, made up of a small pond and wet meadows. Its dam carries a road, and two concrete underpasses built in 1999 let frogs and toads cross safely.

The pond is a nature monument, site no. 955, managed by the Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Protection (AOPK), which took over its administration from the Brno city authority in 2011. In 1999 two concrete underpasses were built under the dam road for one million Czech korunas so that breeding frogs could migrate safely; the project became a model for amphibian protection.

The name Žebětínský rybník comes from the Brno-Žebětín district where the pond lies. Visitors can see two concrete underpasses built in 1999 under the dam road, costing 1 million CZK, which let frogs cross safely during breeding season.

The pond lies in Brno-Žebětín and is reached along the dam, where two concrete underpasses built in 1999 let amphibians cross beneath the road. Visitors should keep to the dam and avoid the wetland meadows during the spring breeding season, when frogs and toads migrate.
