Mrhal, Lake and cultural monument in Hlincová Hora, Czech Republic

Mrhal Lake extends over 7.21 hectares with a maximum depth of 15 meters and features a 250-meter-long dam at its base.

The lake was established in 1555 to power mining machinery in the Rudolfov mining district, with Italian workers constructing its substantial dam.

The name changed from Mörderteich to Mrhal in the 19th century, referring to a historical incident involving a farmer's death near the dam.

The lake serves as a private fishing ground since 1996, managed by Rybolov CB company, offering swimming and angling opportunities.

During the 2018 drainage, researchers discovered approximately 100,000 freshwater mussels of four different species living in the lake.
