Ratajské rybníky, Natural monument in Hlinsko, Czech Republic.
Ratajské rybníky encompasses three cascading ponds surrounded by peat meadows and shoreline vegetation, covering 11.3 hectares of protected landscape.
The pond system development occurred gradually, with the Upper Ratajský pond constructed in 1855, followed by the Lower Ratajský in 1910 and Middle Ratajský in 1970.
Local fishing traditions continue at these ponds, with annual autumn harvests yielding carp, tench, pike-perch, pike, and roach species.
Two unnamed water streams originating from Čertovina slope supply different sections of the pond system, maintaining water levels through dam outlets and overflow systems.
The protected area serves as a habitat for rare butterfly species, including the Scarce Large Blue and Dusky Large Blue, along with various amphibians and birds.
