Niva Bělé u Klokočky, Natural monument near Bělá pod Bezdězem, Czech Republic.
Niva Bělé u Klokočky is a 7.75-hectare natural monument in the Bělá stream valley, declared in 2016. It lies near Malý Rečkov and the Šubrtov and Valcha colonies and is split into two parts by railway line 080, which crosses the stream on two bridges. The site protects Molinion meadows, alkaline fens and wet alder woods.
The site was declared a natural monument in 2016, covering 7.7495 hectares in the Bělá stream valley between Bělá pod Bezdězem and Bakov nad Jizerou. It overlaps with the same-named European significant locality. Nearby lies the older Klokočka national nature monument, protected since 1956 with the same conservation target.
The name Bělá refers to the small river whose floodplain the monument protects; the stream is also called Bělá, and the nearby village of Bělá pod Bezdězem shares the name. The protected meadows lie beside the hamlet of Malý Rečkov and the workers' colonies Šubrtov and Valcha, settled by people employed in local industry.
The site is accessible from the I/38 road that connects Mladá Boleslav and Česká Lípa. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the terrain consists of meadows and wet areas.
The two parts of the monument are split by railway line 080 between Bakov and Bělá, carried on an embankment and crossing the Bělá stream on two bridges. The western part lies north of Malý Rečkov houses No. 3 and 4, the middle part surrounds houses No. 1 and 2. The older national nature monument Klokočka, declared in 1956, lies just beyond the track.
