Dukovanský mlýn, Nature reserve in Dukovany, Czech Republic

The Dukovanský mlýn reserve extends across 17.7 hectares within the deeply cut valley of the Jihlava River, featuring serpentine forests and rare plant species.

Originally a water mill operating until the 1950s, the site was submerged by the Mohelno Reservoir in 1977 before becoming a protected natural area in 1983.

The reserve stands as a testament to the transformation of industrial heritage into environmental conservation, representing the evolution of land use in Czech society.

Visitors can access the reserve via a red-marked tourist path that connects Mohelenský mlýn to the ruins of Rabštejn Castle at 370 meters above sea level.

The serpentine bedrock creates specific conditions for plant growth, with high magnesium content supporting critically endangered species like aromatic spurge.
