Přírodní rezervace Stráně Hamerského potoka, Nature reserve in Broumov, Czech Republic

Přírodní rezervace Stráně Hamerského potoka is a 4.56-hectare nature reserve on a steep south-facing slope above the left bank of Hamerský potok in the Český les, at 543–598 m. It protects a complex of ravine forests (45%) and species-rich beech forests with over ten tree species, including sycamore, Norway maple, ash and large-leaved lime.

The area was declared a nature reserve by the Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Protection of the Czech Republic, effective 5 August 2021, to keep a mixed, age-diverse forest stand. The surrounding woods had belonged to the Broumov forest district since at least the 18th century, and clear-felling continued there until the first half of the 20th century. A spruce monoculture planted mid-century during regeneration reaches into the reserve's north-western part.

No marked trail crosses the reserve, so there is no educational infrastructure or guided visitor programme; the forest is left to natural development. The name comes from the Hamerský potok, the stream that drains the south-facing slope above its left bank. The surrounding woods have belonged to the Broumov forest district since at least the 18th century.

No marked tourist trail crosses the reserve, so access is off-path through the woods; the upper edge of the boundary briefly follows road II/201. The slope above the left bank of Hamerský potok is steep and south-facing. The Nový Haimhausen chateau stands in the buffer zone to the southwest.

No faunal survey was carried out before the reserve was declared in 2021, so the presence of protected animals remains unconfirmed. The varied stands of more than ten tree species could suit the grey-headed woodpecker, the Eurasian eagle-owl or the common raven.
