The largest of them is Dvořiště, with an area of 337 hectares it is the fourth largest pond in the whole Czech Republic. Koclířov or the Velký and Malý Tisý ponds are also well known.

Remains of sedge-peat bogs with typical representatives of these habitats, such as marsh cranberry or round-leaved sundew, have also been preserved here.

Nadějská Pond Network

To make matters worse, the popular Nadějská pond system is located near Lomnice nad Lužnicí. It consists of ponds with poetic names such as Love, Hope, Faith, Deed, Blaník, Soft, Spotted, Rod or Pleased, the individual bodies of water are often separated from each other only by dikes. The system was started by Jakub Krčín, who built only three ponds - Naděje, Potěšil and Skutek. The others are the work of Josef Šusta and were created in the 19th century.

The best way to get to the system is from the village of Klec, located 3 kilometers from Lomnice nad Lužnicí, even closer it is from the nearby village of Frahelž, which is located on the train line connecting Veselí nad Lužnicí with České Velenice.
