Babí doly is a small protected area near Brno centered on two ponds and wetland meadows. These water bodies and surrounding grasslands create homes for marsh plants and many species of frogs and other amphibians.
The area was officially protected in 1997 to safeguard its wetlands from development. This legal protection ensured the ponds and meadows could continue supporting their wildlife populations undisturbed.
The site draws people interested in watching frogs and other amphibians in their natural settings. Visitors can observe how wetlands support diverse animal populations and understand the connection between water and wildlife.
The site is accessible via a marked hiking trail that connects two nearby villages. Parking is available in the surrounding area, making it easy for nature enthusiasts to visit.
