Holásky lakes, Natural monument in Holásky, Czech Republic

Holásecká jezera is a natural monument in the Holásky and Brněské Ivanovice cadastral areas on the western edge of Brno-Tuřany, just west of the Holásky housing. It is a system of nine flowing lakes on the Černovický potok, seven of them formed by damming: Kašpárkovo, Typfl, Kmuníčkovo, Roučkovo, Ledárenské, Plavecké and Strakovo.

The lakes originated as a branch of the Svitava river; Kocábka and Lávka are probably remnants of an old meander, as drawings in the Holásek chronicle show. Most pools were formed by damming, and Opleta was dug out in 1974 on the initiative of the local fishing organisation. The site is a natural monument, ev. no. 1128, administered by AOPK Brno.

The lakes are named after the Holásky district and are fed by the Černovický potok. A cycling route runs along the southern edge of the protected area and continues as far as Austria. Since December 2015 a Facebook page, Holásecká jezera – přírodní památka, has informed the public about activities in the area.

A cycling route runs along the southern edge of the protected area and continues as far as Austria. The lakes lie immediately west of the Holásky housing estate, in the cadastral areas of Holásky and, for a small part, Brněnské Ivanovice. The water bodies are fed by the Černovický stream.

The area holds IUCN category IV designation, emphasizing its role in habitat management and species protection. This classification reveals how it serves as an active tool for preserving specific species and their natural surroundings.
