Nemošická stráň, Nature reserve in Pardubice, Czech Republic

Nemošická stráň is a nature reserve on the southeastern edge of Pardubice, protecting a Cretaceous marlstone terrace above the lower Chrudimka River. The slope is covered by oak-hornbeam forest with hornbeam, field elm, field maple and pedunculate oak, and is known for dense stands of wild garlic.

Nemošická stráň was declared a protected natural monument in 1982, managed by the Czech Republic's Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Protection. The protection covers an opoka terrace of the lower Chrudimka River covered by oak-hornbeam forest, a site important for paleontology, zoology and botany.

The reserve is best known today for dense growths of wild garlic (Allium ursinum), which carpet the oak-hornbeam grove in spring. The name Nemošická stráň comes from the Nemošice district on the south-eastern edge of Pardubice, where the slope lies.

The reserve lies on the southeastern edge of Pardubice, above the right bank of the Chrudimka. Paths can be slippery after rain, so wear sturdy footwear. Stay on marked trails to avoid damaging the spring garlic and other fragile plants.

The site is known for its numerous ancient river channels of the Chrudimka, which are protected as significant landscape features. These channels record the river's former path and are essential for understanding how the slope formed and evolved over time.
