The Ploužnický potok , formerly Hvězdovský potok (German Höflitzer Bach , also Plauschnitzer Bach ) is a left tributary of the Ploučnice in the Czech Republic .
course
The Ploužnický potok rises between the Hřebínek ( Kammberg , 408 m) and the Selský vrch ( Landberg , 383 m) on the southern edge of the Židlov wildlife park in the Okna ( Woken ) desert in the area of the town of Ralsko in the Ralská pahorkatina. On its upper course, first to the northwest and later to the west, the strongly meandering brook flows past the Dolní Okna ( heath ) desert and the Zbynská ( Pinskei ) hunting lodge and forms a valley with swampy meadows and forests. In Hvězdov the brook is dammed in a cascade of ponds, downstream of the stream these are the Ploužnický rybník ( Plauschnitz Pond ), the Hvězdovský rybník I, the Hvězdovský rybník II and the Hvězdovský III. The settlement of Ploužnice lies on its lower reaches. North of the airfield Hradčany opens the Ploužnický brook after ten kilometers on forest Čistá ( Tschistai ) when Lesní závod ( forest plant ) in Mimoň VI in the Ploučnice .
The upper course of the stream, which runs through a narrow meadow, has been left to nature since the devastation of Okna and Dolní Okna. The pond area at the middle part consists in Novy Dvur in the valley of Svébořický brook ( Schwabitzer Bach ) continues where the Mlýnský rybník ( Höflitzer pond ) Hvězdovský rybník IV, Novodvorsky rybník I or Tankáč, Novodvorsky rybník II and Novodvorsky rybník III ( Neuhof ponds ) lie. Below Hvězdov, on the right side of the Ploužnický potok, the Čistecký příkop trench is derived, which serves as a saddle ditch for the state forest enterprise's sawmill and which is fed back to the Ploužnický potok immediately before it flows into the Ploučnice.

history
The upper course of the Höflitzer Bach was only sparsely populated before the Second World War. In the source area was the Rundling Woken and to the left of the valley was the Heide settlement. The villages Plauschnitz (left side) and Neudorf ( Mezilesí ) and Höflitz (right side) stretched on the lower course of the brook, the latter also included the Meierhof Neuhof ( Nový Dvůr ) and the Neumühle below the Hasenberg on the Schwabitzer Bach. The residents were German-speaking. In March 1945, the construction of a German military airfield between Neubrück ( Nový Most ), Zweihäusel ( Dvojdomí ) and Kummer ( Hradčany ) began, which was damaged in US air raids and was only completed by the Czechoslovak Army after the end of the war . After the Germans were expelled from Czechoslovakia, the Ralsko military training area was built in 1947 and the towns of Okna, Dolní Okna and Mezilesí were devastated in the period that followed. At the place of the villages Hvězdov and Ploužnice on the edge of the restricted area, settlements for employees of the state forest enterprise and members of the army were built. After the invasion of 1968 , the Red Army occupied the military training area and expanded it. A prefabricated housing estate for Red Army soldiers was built in Ploužnice. After the Velvet Revolution, the Red Army cleared the military training area by May 30, 1991. On January 1, 1992, the Ralsko community was established on the former military area . In 2000 the Židlov wildlife park was established on the right side of the upper reaches of the Ploužnický potok, in which 700 red deer and 300 mouflons were initially kept. In 2011, five bison were released in the wildlife park, the center of which is the Zbynská hunting lodge, in order to create a herd of 25 in the future.
