Andělské schody, Nature reserve in Voznice, Czech Republic

Andělské schody is a protected nature reserve in Voznice featuring diverse plant communities and natural habitats. The area encompasses interconnected protected zones with varying geological formations and ecological characteristics.

Botanists Vladimír Skalický and Jiří Manycha first proposed protecting the meadows; preparations began in 1999, and the reserve was declared on 30 March 2002. In the 1990s a fifth of the meadow was repeatedly ploughed and human waste was illegally dumped there. A larger 173.24 ha nature monument was declared on 30 August 2013, while the reserve was kept.

The name Andělské schody, "Angel Steps", comes from the terrain itself: the land drops in steps from Malá Svatá Hora toward Dobříš. The steep slopes lie mainly on the left bank of the Voznice stream and above the Velký pond.

Marked trails guide visitors through the different sections of the reserve. Staying on designated paths and following conservation guidelines helps protect the plants and animals living here.

The reserve is the only site in the Czech Republic where the moth Jodia croceago has been recorded. The blue butterfly Maculinea teleius was a major reason the meadows were declared protected in 2002.
