Obora Holedná is a 330-hectare game preserve located in the western part of Brno, Czechia, managed by the Lesy města Brna organization. The primary feature is the fenced enclosure containing a substantial population of fallow deer, mouflons, and wild boars. A designated 6-kilometer educational trail traverses the park, connecting various viewpoints and natural terrain.
