Údolní nádrž Skalka, lake in Cheb, Karlovy Vary Region, Czech Republic
Údolní nádrž Skalka is a reservoir located in a forested valley west of Cheb, stretching about nine kilometers and extending across the border into Germany. The water is bordered by sandy beaches and surrounded by woodlands that provide shade and a natural sense of calm.
The reservoir was built between 1962 and 1964 to manage water in the region. Since its creation, it has become an important part of the local infrastructure and landscape.
The site is accessible via hiking trails and offers various spots for relaxation and water activities. Visitors should know that algae blooms occasionally appear in warm months, which may affect swimming.
The reservoir is home to a small population of beavers that shape the landscape by building dams and help maintain natural balance. These animals are welcome residents and make the site particularly interesting for nature watchers.
