Jezeří Reservoir

The Jezeří Reservoir is an artificial water body that spreads across a forested hillside landscape and serves as a water storage system for the region. The structure includes a dam, shorelines, and supporting infrastructure that make the water system visible to visitors.

The reservoir came into existence around 1902 as part of industrial water management projects that transformed the Czech lands in the early 20th century. This creation was part of a broader movement toward modern infrastructure development in the region.

The water body sits in a landscape shaped by dams and shoreline paths, where visitors can experience the blend of nature and human engineering. The surroundings show how water management has shaped the land over time.

The site is reachable by car or bicycle and has walking paths along the shores for leisurely strolls. Visitors should know that the location has different conditions depending on the season, and it is best to check the weather beforehand.

The location received the status of a national cultural monument in 2023, honoring its importance as both a historical structure and an ecological element. This recognition sets it apart from many other water storage systems in the region.
