CZ: Písecný presyp u obce Vlkov je prírodní rezervací, vyhlášenou v roce 1954 na výmere 0,84 ha. Jedná se o zbytek písecné duny, která vznikla v pozdním glaciálu (podle jiného výkladu je presyp mladší a vznikl odlesnením krajiny ve starším holocénu). Délka jeho severojižní osy je asi 80 m, západovýchodní asi 60 m. Presto, že je presyp stabilizovaný, na volných místech se udržuje jemne žlutý pohyblivý písek, na nemž pri vetru vznikají zretelné ceriny. Rostou zde vzácné suchomilné rostliny a žijí teplomilné druhy blanokrídlého hmyzu. Nápadné jsou volné kolonie velké samotárské vcely Andrena vaga.
