Hracholusky Reservoir, Reservoir in Tachov district, Czech Republic
Description
Hracholusky Reservoir is a large body of water in the Tachov district, stretching across a long distance and fed by the Mže River. Along its banks, steep cliff faces alternate with gentle sandy shores, creating varied scenery throughout the waterscape.
History
The reservoir was built in the late 1950s to protect the region from flooding and support irrigation needs. This construction was part of a broader effort to manage and control water resources in Western Bohemia.
Culture
The water connects four small communities and shapes how people in this region spend their days and seasons. For locals, it serves as a gathering place where fishing, walks along the shore, and water activities are part of daily rhythms.
Practical
The area is best explored on foot or by car from various points along the shore, with multiple access points available. Visitors should be prepared for varying conditions, as some sections feature steep terrain while others offer easier walking routes.
Did you know?
The water sits at an elevation of around 372 meters and stretches for roughly 26 kilometers across the Bohemian landscape, making it unusually long for the region. This extended reach creates distinct zones with their own character along the full length of the shoreline.
