Nature and Protected Areas

Stružnické rybníky is a Natura 2000 site with shallow ponds heavily overgrown with aquatic plants. It comprises wetland and aquatic biotopes that are home primarily to a population of fire-bellied toads (Bombina bombina).

The Dolní Ploučnice protected area extends across Stružnice and Jezvé and serves to protect the fire-bellied toad. The area contains fragments of floodplain forests, including riparian and ash-alder floodplain forests as well as wet alder forests.

Lípa u Stružnice is a protected solitary tree, first designated on 9 December 2011.

History

Stružnice was first mentioned in written sources in 1281, in the epithet of the nobleman Záviš of Stružnice. Historically, Stružnice had three estates along the Ploučnice, known as the Upper, Middle and Lower Estates.

Distinctive terrain remains and two Gothic cellars survive from the former water castle of Stružnice. The former water castle lies entirely outside marked hiking trails.
