Zábělá

Zábělá is a nature reserve that combines forests, meadows, and wetlands to create space for many different plant and animal species. The site features marked hiking trails and information boards to help you explore the different areas and learn about the life there.

The area was designated as a protected reserve in 1970 to preserve the natural landscape and its diversity in this region. This step was part of early efforts by the country to safeguard important habitats for the future.

The place attracts school groups and nature enthusiasts who come to explore the different habitats and understand how plants and animals depend on each other. Visitors use the site to observe various plant species growing together and learn about the relationships between living things.

The best time to visit is from spring to autumn when the paths are dry and passable, and most plants are blooming. Wear good footwear and bring water, as some trails can be muddy and there is little shade in open areas.

Scientists regularly study the area to observe how different ecosystems interact and change over time. The findings from this research help inform better ways to protect similar habitats elsewhere.
