Suchý Poldr Čihadla

Great place for a quick walk

A very green oasis in the eastern outskirts of Prague, sandwiched between unwelcoming residential quarters of Černý Most and a quiet villa districts of Kyje and Dolní Počernice. It's a protected natural reserve of wildlife and is meant to be undisturbed (dogs on the leash, no straying off designated pathways). It's crisscrossed by rivulets and dotted by tiny lakes. The whole huge area also serves as a natural food retention reservoir. Once there, try to imagine the size of the calamity that hit Prague in 2002 (and a few times later) as this whole huge area was inundated with water levels as high as 8 meters with all those massive meadows suddenly turned into the bottom of a deep lake.

Unregulated stream flow, floodplain and wetland communities, ponds. Nice for a Sunday walk and a photo trip.

Beautiful place, the terrain is not entirely suitable for cats, when it is mud, but with a bit of effort it is possible.

A beautiful place with a relatively smaller number of visitors, although a large housing estate is relatively close. The walk around the river is beautiful and you don't feel like you're in the capital at all.
