Malý Kosíř, protected area in Czech Republic

Malý Kosíř is a nature reserve on a hill of 317 metres, about one kilometre south of Slatinice in the Olomouc District. It covers roughly eleven hectares of dry grasslands and shrubby slopes, with a wooden chapel dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua and a cross from 1944 on the summit.

Malý Kosíř was declared a nature reserve in 1993 (regulation of the Olomouc district office no. 3/93) and re-declared by Olomouc Region regulation no. 16/2013; the Czech nature conservation agency AOPK ČR manages it. A cross on the hill dates from 1944. Between 1944 and 1952 Antonín Šuránek and Archbishop Leopold Prečan considered a pilgrimage complex with a chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua here, similar to Svatý Kopeček; the wooden chapel was only built in 2018 to Petr Tomeček's design.

The wooden chapel on the hill is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua and was built in 2018 to a design by Petr Tomeček, who donated it in memory of his father. A cross from 1944 stands nearby. The chapel was considered as early as 1944–1952, when Antonín Šuránek and Archbishop Leopold Prečan discussed a pilgrimage complex here.

The hill has a gentle slope and is easy to climb, with marked paths and signage guiding visitors throughout. Wearing comfortable shoes and bringing water are recommended, as this makes for a pleasant short visit that is easily accessible from nearby towns.

The reserve protects dry grasslands and heathland where the Jersey tiger moth (Euplagia quadripunctaria) has been recorded, alongside a rich assemblage of orchids. A wooden chapel dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, designed by Petr Tomeček and donated to his father, was added to the hilltop in 2018.
