Louky u Choťánek, Natural monument near Choťánky and Poděbrady, Czech Republic.

Louky u Choťánek is a protected natural area near Choťánky and Poděbrady with meadows and willow stands. The site hosts plant species adapted to damp soil and wetland conditions.

Louky u Choťánek was declared a natural monument on 7 March 2016, covering 141.53 hectares, with a 76.34-hectare buffer zone. Its four parts lie in Choťánky, Libice nad Cidlinou and Poděbrady. The eastern part includes the flooded Pod Valy sandpit, mined in the 1970s and closed in the 1990s.

The name refers to the meadows by Choťánky, a village whose name derives from a personal name. The protected area lies in the Labe floodplain, where the river shaped the terrain and left oxbow remnants of the Cidlina and Labe. Anglers use the flooded Pod Valy sandpit, and the adjacent Huslík animal rescue station stands at the southern edge of the middle section.

The monument has four parts: three on the right bank of the Labe near its confluence with the Cidlina, one on the left bank at V Čihadle near the Pytel floodplain forest. The eastern part lies beneath the Libice hillfort and is cut by road 32. Fishing is not permitted; the flooded Pod Valy sandpit is used for swimming and recreational fishing.

The flooded Pod Valy sandpit, mined from the 1970s until the 1990s, holds a small island in its middle and drains into a neighbouring pool; it is used for swimming and recreational fishing, which keeps its banks from overgrowing.
