Nádrž Tesák

Nádrž Tesák is a concrete water reservoir in the village of Rajnochovice that fills naturally with rainwater and maintains a relatively shallow depth. The basin provides suitable habitat conditions for several protected amphibian species found in the area.

The site gained official protection status as a natural monument in 2015 and was designated as a conservation zone for amphibians. This legal recognition marked an important step in preserving these habitats within the region.

The reservoir represents a community effort to protect local amphibian populations and demonstrates how small water bodies play a key role in regional conservation. Visitors can observe how this simple structure supports species that depend on such habitats for survival.

The site is easily accessible by foot through local paths and offers good opportunities for wildlife observation. The best time to visit is spring and summer when amphibians are most active and vocal.

The basin serves as a vital breeding ground for several rare newt and frog species that are increasingly difficult to find elsewhere in the region. These species depend on such specialized habitats, making this location particularly valuable for conservation efforts.
