Soběšické rybníčky, Nature reserve in Brno, Czech Republic
Soběšické rybníčky is a nature reserve in the Řečkovice cadastral area of Brno, in a shaded valley of the Soběšická vrchovina at 290–330 m. The stream Kubelín, a tributary of the Ponávka, flows through it. After the upper pond's dam burst, three shallow pools were built in 2007–2010 and trees shading the water were felled.
The two small ponds were the reason for protection, as a refuge for amphibians. After the dam of the upper pond burst, three shallow pools were built between 2007 and 2010 and trees shading the water were felled to improve breeding conditions. The site is registered as nature monument no. 1043, managed by AOPK Brno.
The name refers to the Soběšice hills, though the ponds lie in the Řečkovice cadastre. The site is managed by AOPK Brno, and the association Rezekvítek also works here and publishes information about the locality. Visitors come mainly in spring, when common toads, brown frogs and agile frogs breed in the water.
You can reach the ponds by walking along a forest trail from nearby neighborhoods, which is easy to navigate and suitable for family walks. Parking nearby is limited, so walking is often the most practical option.
The upper pond's dam burst, and between 2007 and 2010 three shallow pools were built in its place while trees shading the water were felled. Fish such as rudd and roach in the lower pond are caught under the care plan because they harm amphibian breeding.
