Záhlinické rybníky Nature Park, Nature park with ponds and wetlands in Hulín, Czech Republic.
Záhlinické rybníky Nature Park is a protected area of ponds and wetlands in the Hulín region. It contains several interconnected water bodies linked by dikes that create varied habitats for plants and animals.
The pond system was created in the 14th century and expanded most significantly between 1547 and 1573 under Bishop Jan Skála z Doubravky. This development shaped the landscape of the region for centuries to come.
The park reflects how local people have connected with water through fishing, a practice that a community association continues to this day. This tradition shapes how the ponds are managed and what you see when visiting.
An educational trail called Planorbis passes through the area with viewing points and information boards about local wildlife. Binoculars are helpful if you want to watch birds and other animals up close.
The area is an important stopping point for migrating birds and hosts an exceptional variety of bird species across different seasons. This makes it a special destination for bird watchers from across the region.
