Znojmo Reservoir, reservoir in Znojmo, Czech Republic

The Znojmo Reservoir is a reservoir on the Dyje in the Znojmo district, impounded by a 115 m long gravity dam at river kilometre 132.73, at 228.49 m above sea level. Its roughly 4.3 km long flooded section lies entirely within Podyjí National Park, and its banks are covered by preserved forest stands. The dam has two bottom outlets and a two-part crown spillway with segments and flaps.

The reservoir was put into operation in 1966, damming the Dyje at river kilometre 132.73 just below Znojmo's centre. Its 115 m dam holds back a roughly 4.3 km lake lying entirely within Podyjí National Park. The plant's two Kaplan turbines, each with a 1 m runner, have a combined output of 1,350 kW.

The reservoir's water is used for waterworks processing, and its entire flooded area lies within Podyjí National Park, whose banks are covered by preserved forest stands. The reservoir also helps balance irregular river flows from the Vranov hydroelectric plant's peak operation.

The reservoir is easily accessible from Znojmo by car or bicycle, with several local routes leading to the water that suit visitors of all ages. The area is best suited for swimming, boating, and fishing during warmer months, while walking and cycling trails extend into the surrounding forests and hills throughout the year.

The reservoir's entire flooded area lies within Podyjí National Park, and its banks are covered by well-preserved forest. The dam is a gravity structure 115 m long, fitted with two bottom outlets of DN 1000 and a two-part crown spillway controlled by segments and flaps.
