Kamenná trouba

Kamenná trouba is a nature reserve near Lipnice nad Sázavou that centers on a large pond surrounded by wetlands along Pstružný stream. The site covers more than 60 hectares with a mix of open water, reed beds, and wooded edges that support various wildlife.

The first documented mention of the reserve appears in mid-18th century records of the Lipnice estate. Some indications suggest it may have been known even earlier, toward the end of the 16th century.

A stone cross with two small carved crosses stands on the eastern shore of the pond and marks a significant path from the dam toward Malířovna. This religious landmark shows how people have used this place as a meaningful spot over the generations.

The reserve is open for free access year-round and lies near cycling routes 19 and 1211. You can reach it easily from road 347 between Humpolec and Světlá nad Sázavou.

The name Kamenná trouba means Stone Pipe and refers to the material of the original discharge system of the pond. This detail shows how the local culture named places after their practical purpose.
