Gazing at the shimmering surface of Rybník Obora, can you imagine it teeming with life? This isn’t just any pond. Rybník Obora holds a unique story, tucked away in the woods east of Xaverov in Prague. Formed after 1869, Rybník Obora possesses a distinct triangular shape, oriented from northeast to southwest. The water flowing out of Rybník Obora continues its journey through a sluice gate. After a short distance, it merges with the Svépravický stream. It becomes the stream’s first left-side tributary.
