Moravská Dyje, Natural monument in Staré Hobzí, Czech Republic.
Moravská Dyje is a river flowing through the Czech lands and into Austria, notable for its varied landscape and natural habitats along its course. The waterway supports woodlands, meadows, and wetland areas that provide homes for many plant and animal species.
This river was designated as a protected natural monument in 2013 to safeguard its ecological value and surrounding landscape. The protection reflects growing recognition of how important such river systems are for both nature and communities.
Mills like Loucký mlýn and Šulákův mlýn dot the riverbanks and reflect the long history of water-powered industry in the area. You can see how these old structures shaped the way people used and valued the river in their daily working lives.
Access to the area is available from several roads and pathways with multiple vantage points along the riverbanks for exploration and observation. Wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for varying ground conditions that change with the seasons and weather.
The river forms several narrow gorges and bends along its course where the water takes on a distinctly dark color. This dark appearance results from peat-rich tributaries flowing in from nearby boggy areas and creates an unusual landscape feature.
