Nová louka is a mountain meadow in the municipality of Bedřichov in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic, protected as a nature reserve. It is located in the Jizera Mountains.
Name
In 1597, the locality was called Medvědí louka (literally 'Bear Meadow'). Today it is named after a nearby hunting lodge located outside the protected area, which was originally called Nová Louka (i.e. 'new meadow'), later Panský dům, and today is called Šámalova chata. The meadow is sometimes referred to as Šámalova louka.[2]
Nature
The reason for the protection is are natural communities of peat and waterlogged spruce, with enclaves of natural forestless peats and with a large number of rare and endangered organisms.[1] The Blatný Brook flows through the reserve.[2]
