Březnice - Oblouček, Natural monument in Březnice, Czech Republic.
Březnice - Oblouček is a 16.86-hectare natural monument about 0.5 km east of Martinice in the Příbram district, declared in 2013. It covers the Holubovský and Oblouček ponds with their reed beds, wetlands and meadows, between the Březnice–Drahenice road and an asphalt lane to the I/19.
The protected area was declared on 21 October 2013 on 16.8631 hectares to safeguard a Natura 2000 site. Its purpose is the protection of the population of the fire-bellied toad (Bombina bombina), a strongly endangered species.
The name Oblouček belongs to one of the two ponds on the site, Holubovský being the other; both lie about 0.5 km east of the village of Martinice. The protected area is a Natura 2000 locality, and its reeds and wet meadows are the reason the fire-bellied toad is watched here.
The monument lies about 0.5 km east of Martinice, at 458–472 m. Its western edge is the Březnice–Drahenice road, its northern edge an asphalt lane linking that road to the I/19 Březnice–Počaply road. The ponds Holubovský and Oblouček with their reeds and wet meadows are the core.
The two ponds, Holubovský and Oblouček, lie at 458–472 m about 0.5 km east of the village of Martinice, not in Březnice itself; the site was declared on 21 October 2013 and covers 16.8631 ha.
