Soběšické rybníčky, protected area in Czech Republic
Soběšické rybníčky are small ponds in a forest area near Brno, surrounded by tall trees and quiet walking paths. The water is fed by underground springs and provides habitat for various amphibians like frogs and newts as well as aquatic plants such as frogbit and curly-leaved pondweed.
The ponds were created in a creek valley along the Kubelín, which flows into the Ponávka river. The area was designated a protected site in 1987 to preserve threatened amphibians, newts, and specialized aquatic insects.
The ponds attract locals who come to watch birds or listen to frogs calling in spring. Families and nature lovers use this quiet spot to experience the simple beauty of the surroundings and escape the city's bustle.
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.
In spring, various frog species gather here for breeding and fill the nights with their loud calls. This annual natural display is a fascinating moment to witness the biological activity of the place and understand why the area is important as a protected zone.
