history
The pond at Břehyňský potok was probably built after 1366 as part of the creation of a system of fish ponds in the swampy lowlands along the Robečský potok and its tributaries. The sandstone of the Ralská pahorkatina, which is easy to work with, led to a special construction of the ponds, their outlet did not take place via monks through the heaped earth dams, but via rock channels hewn laterally through the rock, which were called swallows.
The Schlucken is part of the National Nature Reserve NPR Břehyně-Pecopala .
