Jordán, Water reservoir in Tábor, Czech Republic
Jordán is a reservoir in Tábor formed by a dam and surrounded by accessible banks. The body of water serves both recreational and practical purposes for the region.
Construction of the reservoir began in the late 15th century, establishing it as one of Central Europe's oldest water storage structures. It was originally designed to provide drinking water for Tábor.
The name Jordán comes from a spring that once defined the area. Today, locals and visitors gather along the shores for leisure time.
The northern bank has a swimming beach and offers boat rentals along with a restaurant for visitors. The warmest months are ideal for swimming and water activities.
A modern bridge crosses the water, suspended from a tall pylon by steel cables. This structure has become a local landmark and demonstrates engineering skill.
