History:Údlice doubí is a natural monument No. 5761 about 1.5 km north of the village of Údlice in the Chomutov district. The protected area is approximately elliptical in shape, with dimensions of about 850 m (west-east direction) by 650 m (north-south direction) and an area of about 43.8 ha. The boundaries are approximately defined by the forest boundary. The main reason for the designation of the protected area is the presence of the endangered species of the common hornbill (Lucanus cervus) and the promotion of its population. In addition to the hornbill, there are other insects such as the banded bittern and the brown marmorated bittern, and plants such as the golden-headed lily, spring primrose, oak loosestrife, black crested dogwood and alpine clover. The bedrock here consists of Neogene sediments composed of sands, gravels, clays and coal seams originating from the Middle to Lower Miocene. With an altitude of 367 m above sea level, Údlické Douby is a prominent point of the geomorphological district of the Jirkov Basin. In the geomorphological subdivision of the higher levels, it belongs to the Erzgebirge subprovince, specifically to the Podkrušnohorská region, the Mostecká basin unit and the Chomutov-Teplice basin subunit. It is characterised by wide open valleys with gentle slopes and the relief of alluvial cones and valley floors. The hill itself is a flat asymmetrical mound on Miocene sediments with a flat top and steeper slopes in the west and south. The soils are dominated by pelosols on the western and eastern edges, supplemented by smonics. The Údlice doubí is accessible by road III/25124 from Údlice to Otvice, which runs along its eastern side. A forest road branches off from it to the centre of the area, where the waterworks building stands. Another forest path runs along the northern edge of the forest. On the southern edge there is a gardening colony.
