Mokřad Pumpák, Protected wetland in Hulín, Czech Republic

Mokřad Pumpák is a wetland in a depression between the Přerov–Břeclav and Kojetín–Valašské Meziříčí railway embankments on the northern edge of Hulín, at 200–201 m. The hollow was left when material was dug for the embankments, and an iron spring rises in its northern part.

The wetland formed during 19th-century railway construction when workers excavated materials for embankments, creating water-filled depressions. These unintended earthworks established a valuable ecosystem.

The name "Pumpák" comes from a pumping station built at the northwest edge, which drew water from a 15-metre well to heat it for steam locomotives at Hulín station. Foundations of the station and a partly filled well remain.

The wetland lies in a depression between the Přerov–Břeclav and Kojetín–Valašské Meziříčí railway embankments on the northern edge of Hulín, at 200–201 m elevation. The iron spring in the northern part fluctuates with rainfall, and the ground stays waterlogged even in drought. Foundations of the old pumping station and a partly filled well remain.
