Strašov: Hotels and Accommodation

Strašov is characterized by extensive bodies of water on the village green. The Strašovský rybník pond is particularly distinctive; it is considered a significant landscape feature (VKP) and includes an area containing nationally important plant and animal species under special protection.

Nature and Water

The Strašovský rybník is fed by the Strašovský potok stream. Its banks are lined with reed beds, behind which lie wet and marshy meadows. In the middle of the pond is an island formed from sediment. Rare plant species have been found in the surrounding area, including species from the Red List of Threatened Species.
