Předmíř: Ponds, Watercourses and Cycle Route 1063

For a stay in Předmíř, the setting, shaped by ponds and open countryside, takes centre stage. Around the village, ponds, meadows and wooded patches define the landscape, which is suitable for walking and cycling. Specific points of interest include Metelský Pond, the course of Metelský potok and the Lomnice, cycle route 1063, and the Předmíř lime tree, a protected natural monument. This makes nature and outdoor activities a focus for trip planning, complemented by individual protected and cultural features.

Ponds and Watercourses

When fully filled, Metelský Pond covers 51 hectares; its water level fluctuates seasonally. Its area and seasonal water level should therefore be considered together. In Předmíř, Metelský potok flows into the Lomnice. Divák Pond is one of several ponds along the courses of both watercourses in Předmíř. Thus, the landscape profile includes not only individual bodies of water but also the relationships between the watercourses and other ponds. If you are choosing your stay based on the area’s water features, you can distinguish between an interest in individual ponds and in the named watercourses.

Landscape and Cycle Route

The northern part of the Předmíř municipal area borders directly on the Brdy Mountains. This describes the northern part of the municipal area, while ponds, meadows and wooded patches shape the landscape around the village. A broad mountain setting and a more varied landscape of water and meadows therefore sit side by side.

Cycle route 1063 runs from Zámlyní through Předmíř to Zahorčice and Lnáře. Check the current cycle-route signage before setting off. The landscape, shaped by ponds, meadows and wooded patches, is also suitable for walks. The two activities offer different perspectives: cycling follows a specific numbered route, while walking takes the surrounding landscape as its point of reference.

Protected Nature and Cultural Heritage

The Předmíř lime tree is an individual tree protected as a natural monument. Pastvina u Zahorčic, a protected natural monument, is located in the area around Předmíř. In the area around Předmíř, Pastvina u Zahorčic comprises a remnant of a complex of seasonally wet pastures where rare and endangered plant and animal species occur. Pastvina u Zahorčic is designated as a Natura 2000 site featuring Molinia meadows on calcareous, peaty or clayey-silty soils. If you are interested in nature and landscape conservation, several specific features come together here: its protected status, seasonally wet pastures, rare and endangered species, and the soil and meadow types mentioned. This sets the area apart from a focus solely on ponds.

Regional biocorridor RBK 274 connects Metelské rybníky and Zahorčice. Unlike an individual natural monument, it points to a connection between two named areas and adds a regional dimension to the protected features. The two names serve different roles: Metelské rybníky is one endpoint of the corridor, while Pastvina u Zahorčic refers to the natural monument and Natura 2000 site in the area.

A preserved memorial cross stands in front of a chapel. Alongside the water, natural monuments and cycle route, this memorial adds a cultural feature to the village’s profile.
