Sedlice Reservoir, Cultural monument and reservoir in Sedlice, Czech Republic.
Sedlice Reservoir is a large body of water in Central Bohemia surrounded by natural vegetation and used for water management. The basin collects sediments before water flows onward to downstream facilities.
Construction began in 1921 as part of a regional effort to improve water supplies and protect drinking water sources for local communities. The project was part of a broader water management initiative for the area.
The reservoir received recognition as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, showing how the country values this engineering work. Visitors can see the older construction methods visible in the landscape.
The site is best reached on foot or by bicycle, since the dam and shoreline are in a rural setting. The best time to visit is during dry weather, and it helps to wear waterproof shoes and bring sun protection.
The basin was specifically designed to remove sediments from water, improving quality before it flows to downstream systems. This sediment-trapping role makes it an important part of the regional water network.
