Přírodní rezervace Jílovka - Přírodní rezervace Jílovka

The Jílovka Nature Reserve is a nature reserve declared in January 2011. The fauna and flora of two of the ponds, Jílovka and Kravský, are protected. The local meadows, wetlands, mixed deciduous forest and lower stands with the occurrence of valuable mycoflora are considered protected, and macrophytic vegetation and diverse zoocenosis are also valued at Kravský rybník. The forest stands are made of bird ash, wetland alder and moist oak. Some rare species of fungi are tied to this environment, such as the nettle mushroom, which was already considered extinct in the Czech Republic, or the ruby ​​mushroom. Kravský rybník, as one of the few in the Dutch pond system, is not used for intensive fish farming. This creates conditions for the development of amphibian populations, such as the green tree frog, the lean jumper or the crested jumper. Waterfowl nest in the coastal reeds, the representatives of which include the great reed warbler, the water rattlesnake and the hawk. The road from Holan to Zahrádky leads around the ponds. There is no bike path or tourist marked path for hikers. The nearest railway station Zahrádky is about 3 km to the north.
