Jordán, Water reservoir in Tábor, Czech Republic

The Jordán reservoir extends across 51 hectares with a dam that rises 20 meters high and contains 3 million cubic meters of water.

The construction of Jordán reservoir began in 1492, making it the oldest water reservoir in Central Europe, originally built to supply drinking water.

The reservoir received the status of cultural monument in 1992, marking its importance in Czech engineering and architectural heritage.

The northern bank features a swimming beach, boat rentals, a restaurant, and recreational facilities for visitors throughout summer months.

The modern bridge spanning the reservoir hangs from a 77-meter pylon using 26 suspension cables, creating a structure that spans 208 meters.
