Dymokursko – Bahenské louky, Natural monument in Dětenice region, Czech Republic.
Dymokursko – Bahenské louky is a nature monument on the borders of the Jičín, Nymburk and Mladá Boleslav districts, between Dětenice, Košík and Prodašice. The Bahenský potok flows through it, linking oak-hornbeam and acidophilous oak woods with ash-alder floodplain forest, a eutrophic pond and wet meadows.
The site lies in a forest complex between Dětenice, Košík and Prodašice, on the borders of the Jičín, Nymburk and Mladá Boleslav districts. It is part of the larger Dymokursko Site of Community Importance and the Rožďalovické rybníky bird area, a link that shapes its conservation.
The protected plants include Martagon lily, European globeflower, Gladiolus imbricatus, Siberian iris and Bupleurum longifolium. The site also shelters the viviparous lizard, the golden oriole, the water rail and the moth Scopula nemoraria. The reserve lies within the larger Dymokursko site of European importance and the Rožďalovické rybníky bird area.
The monument lies in a forest complex between Dětenice, Košík and Prodašice, on the borders of the Jičín, Nymburk and Mladá Boleslav districts. Bahenský potok flows through it, and the wet bezkolenec meadows and tall-sedge stands are softest after rain, so plan footwear for damp ground.
The site contains several rare forest types existing side by side, including acidophilic oak forests and ash-alder woodlands that do not typically grow together in central Europe. This unusual combination makes it significant for forest research.
