Specific rules apply:
This pond has existed for at least 200 years, with its first map reference in 1848, though it's believed to have been established in the 17th century.
Major reconstruction occurred in 1963 and the 1970s.
In 2017, ownership transferred to the Capital City of Prague, leading to significant revitalization efforts.
The main reconstruction in 2018 involved removing 21,800 m³ of silt, repairing the dam, and replacing the outlet.
Future plans include a safety overflow and restoring the original stream bed.
The pond is a vital habitat for amphibians like the common newt and green frog, which live and reproduce here long-term.
It also serves as an important nesting ground for water birds and a stopover for migratory bird species.
