Pod Benáteckým vrchem, Nature reserve in Milovice, Czech Republic.

Pod Benáteckým vrchem covers 69.21 hectares north of Milovice on the former military training ground, at 202–234 m above sea level. Its dry grasslands, heathland and tall dry shrubs grow on Cretaceous limestone and kaolinitic sandstone, with brown earths prevailing. The site was a nature reserve from 2002 until 1 July 2020, when it was abolished and became part of the Mladá national nature monument.

The area served as a military training ground from 1904 until 1991, which inadvertently protected the natural environment from agricultural use. This long period of non-interference allowed the landscape to maintain its diverse plant communities.

The reserve's name refers to the slope beneath Benátky Hill near Milovice. Its dry grasslands and heaths grew up on a former military training ground, where decades of troop movements kept trees cut back. The critically endangered Rebel's large blue butterfly depends on the cross gentian that grows here.

The reserve was abolished on 1 July 2020 and its territory is now part of the Mladá national nature monument, north of Milovice on the former military training ground. The site lies at 202–234 m above sea level in a warm, slightly dry climate with 500–600 mm of annual rainfall. The terrain is dry grassland, heath and scrub over limestone and kaolinitic sandstone.

The 2003 field survey found the critically endangered Rebel's large blue (Maculinea alcon rebeli), which depends on the cross gentian growing here. The site is the only known Czech locality of the beetle Amphimallon ruficorne and the moth Pelochrista obscura, and the only Bohemian one of the tiger beetle Cicindela germanica, the beetle Ochodaeus chrysameloides and the moth Adela violaria.
