Kališťské louky a mokřady, protected area in Czech Republic
Kališťské louky a mokřady is a protected natural area north of the village of Kaliště featuring extensive meadows and wetland habitats home to diverse plant and animal species. The site contains grassland, aquatic vegetation, and shrubs spread across varying elevations and moisture conditions.
The area was designated as a protected zone starting in 1996 as part of a broader conservation initiative. For centuries people used these lands for grazing, a practice that helped maintain diverse habitats across the site.
The site is accessible via marked walking and cycling paths that wind through the landscape. Spring and summer offer the best conditions for visiting, when birds are active and flowers bloom across the meadows.
The area harbors several rare plant species including marsh buttercup and bogbean, both on protected lists. Along with these botanical rarities, specialized animal species thrive here including specific frog and newt varieties that depend on the wet conditions.
