Chomoutovské jezero, Protected lake near Olomouc, Czech Republic.
Chomoutovské Lake is a shallow water body spanning about 85 hectares with several small islands surrounded by dense shoreline plants. Much of the perimeter is lined with thick vegetation and reedy growth.
The lake formed from extraction operations for gravel and sand that started before World War II and expanded significantly during the 1960s. These mining activities gradually created the present water body.
The lake serves as a key location for people interested in observing water birds throughout the seasons. Its open shores and quiet waters make it a favored spot for this pursuit.
A wooden observation platform is available on the shore for viewing birds, though swimming is not permitted here. Bring binoculars and wear weather-appropriate clothing, as visiting conditions vary throughout the year.
An embankment divides this water body into two sections, with the larger portion forming a triangular shape. This separation creates different environments and conditions across the site.
