Nature park Botič–Milíčov, Nature park in Prague, Czech Republic

Nature Park Botič-Milíčov stretches across a large area in Prague with meadows, forest sections including Milíčov Forest, and numerous ponds scattered throughout. The Botič River and several streams flow through the landscape, creating diverse habitats within the park boundaries.

The park was officially established in 1984 to protect green spaces as Prague expanded. This designation helped preserve natural areas from further urban development.

The name Dobrá voda marks a former merchants' stop at the Botič and Pitkovický potok confluence, where pack animals were watered. Two 17th-century mills stood here; the larger, Fantův mlýn, burned down in 1960 and only ruins remain. Nearby, a 17th-century millrace once fed Podzámecký mlýn in Petrovice.

The park lies on the Říčany Plateau southeast of Prague, from Lipany and the Pitkovický stream down to the Hostivař reservoir, with the Milíčov Forest and ponds by the Jižní Město housing estate. Both streams run in shallow beds across flat ground and flood the surrounding meadows during high water, so check conditions after heavy rain.

At the confluence of the Botič and Pitkovický streams lies a spot called Dobrá voda, once a stopping place where merchants watered their mules. Two water mills were built here in the 17th century; the larger, Fantův mlýn, stood until it burned down in 1960, leaving only ruins on the original site.
