Orlík Reservoir, Hydroelectric reservoir in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic
The Orlík Reservoir extends over 68 kilometers along the Vltava River, storing 720 million cubic meters of water behind its 91-meter-high concrete dam.
Construction of the reservoir began in 1954 and concluded in 1961, transforming the Vltava River landscape and submerging several villages beneath its waters.
The Renaissance Orlík Castle and medieval Zvíkov Castle stand as architectural landmarks near the reservoir, marking centuries of regional heritage.
Visitors can access boat rentals, fishing spots, and camping facilities along the reservoir's 27-square-kilometer surface throughout the summer season.
The reservoir contains a submerged church from the former village of Těchnice, resting 60 meters below the water surface.
