Brno Reservoir, Water reservoir in Brno-Bystrc and Brno-Kníničky, Czech Republic.
The Brno Reservoir stretches across 259 hectares with a water volume of 7.6 million cubic meters and reaches depths of 23.5 meters.
The construction of the reservoir between 1936 and 1940 required flooding the entire village of Kníničky to create this water management system.
The annual Ignis Brunensis international fireworks competition transforms the reservoir into a performance venue, drawing participants from numerous countries.
Regular boat services operate during summer months, connecting the port in Bystrc to Veverská Bitýška with multiple scheduled departures.
The concrete dam structure contains a hydroelectric power station named Kníničky, contributing to the region's energy production.
