Kavky is a nature monument on the southern slope of Hády hill (425 m) in the Brno districts of Maloměřice and Obřany and Brno-Vinohrady. Its bedrock mixes Devonian limestone with biotite granodiorite of the Brno massif, Královo Pole type, and its soils are rendzina and anthrosol. The site protects steppe and forest-steppe plant communities, with 226 plant taxa recorded.

Kavky is a natural monument, registered under number 2154, administered by the AOPK Brno office. The protection covers warm steppe and forest-steppe plant communities with rare and endangered species, on the southern slope of Hády. The site lies in the Maloměřice and Židenice cadastral areas of Brno.

The site represents a dry grassland environment typical of the region, offering habitat for numerous insect species adapted to warm conditions. Walking through this landscape shows how nature sustains communities in places where water is scarce.

The territory is crossed by a non-public educational trail, so the paths are not open to ordinary visitors; the site is managed by AOPK Brno. The monument lies on the southern slope of the Hády hill (425 m) in the Maloměřice and Židenice cadastral areas.

The southern slopes of Hády were where 25 arthropod species were first described, and several of them reach the northernmost limit of their range here. Arachnologists have recorded wolf spiders, crab spiders and ground spiders at the site, including Heterotrichoncus pusillus.
