Nová Ves u Bakova is a municipality and village in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.
Etymology
[edit]The name means "new village near Bakov". The name refers to the fact that it was created next to an older village (specifically Malá Bělá, today part of Bakov nad Jizerou).[2]
Geography
[edit]Nová Ves u Bakova is located about 7 kilometres (4 mi) north of Mladá Boleslav and 52 km (32 mi) northeast of Prague. It lies on the border between the Jičín Uplands and Jizera Table. The highest point is the hill Lovotín at 284 m (932 ft) above sea level. The municipality is situated on the right bank of the Jizera River, which forms its eastern border. The Bělá Stream flows along the southern municipal border. The Rokytka Brook flows through the western part of the municipality and then joins the Bělá.
The area around the Rokytka is protected as the Rečkov National Nature Monument with an area of 24.4 ha (60 acres). The subject of protection are marshy meadows and wetland that forms a biotope of rare and endangered species of plants and animals, including the Desmoulin's whorl snail and the plant Ligularia sibirica.[3]
