Bítovany: Hotels and Accommodation

Farář Pond is part of the natural monument of the same name in the cadastral area of Bítovany. It is also the only known site in the Pardubice Region where the endangered aquatic plant coontail occurs. Its shoreline zone provides nesting sites for many species of waterfowl.
