Nové Mlýny reservoirs, Cascade of artificial lakes in South Moravia, Czech Republic.
The Nové Mlýny system consists of three interconnected reservoirs spanning 32.3 square kilometers across the Thaya River landscape at 164 meters elevation.
Construction of these reservoirs occurred between 1972 and 1988, transforming the regional landscape to support agriculture, flood control, and power generation needs.
The middle reservoir borders Dolní Věstonice, where archaeologists discovered the Venus of Věstonice, a ceramic figure from 29,000 years ago.
The reservoirs provide multiple functions including hydroelectric power generation, irrigation for agriculture, flood prevention, and water supply management.
A Baroque Church of Saint Nicholas stands on an island within the middle reservoir, surrounded by over two thousand Great Moravian Empire graves.
