Horní Bečva Reservoir, reservoir in Horní Bečva, Czech Republic

Horní Bečva Reservoir is a dam reservoir on the upper Rožnovská Bečva in the Rožnovská brázda, about 2.5 km above the centre of Horní Bečva. It has an irregular shape and a surface of roughly 15 hectares; the Sergač stream enters from the northeast, below Kladnatá (918 m).

Construction of the dam began in 1933 and was completed around 1947 to protect the area from severe flooding that had caused damage in earlier decades. The project also helped maintain river flow during dry periods, becoming an essential infrastructure for the surrounding region.

Visitors can arrive by car with parking nearby or take the bus, making access convenient for different travelers. The area offers walking trails, cycling paths, swimming areas, and opportunities for fishing, boating, and picnicking, with local restaurants and accommodations close by.

The reservoir's small hydroelectric plant has a capacity of just 17 kW. The dam was first put into operation in 1944, but the whole structure was finished only in 1947 because of the Second World War. Around 2.5 km of the Rožnovská Bečva upstream of Horní Bečva centre was dammed.
