Wilsonova skála, Rock formation at Dalešice Reservoir, Czech Republic.

Wilsonova skála is a granite rock formation rising from Dalešice Reservoir, with its upper portion extending roughly 55 meters (180 feet) above the waterline. The formation continues beneath the surface with approximately 45 meters (150 feet) submerged.

The rock was originally called Kufštejn after the castle whose faint remains sit on it. Its original height was 100 metres; when Dalešice Reservoir was built, the lower 45 metres were submerged, leaving about 55 metres above the waterline.

Above the viewpoint stands a wooden heart placed in 2021, carved by Vlastimil Sedláček, a native of Hartvíkovice. It is not a community installation but the work of one local craftsman, and it now serves as a marker for visitors arriving at the lookout.

The viewpoint is accessible via a yellow-marked trail from Hartvíkovice village or directly from Wilsonka campsite, both routes being clearly marked. Plan to visit during daylight hours for safe hiking and the best views of the water and surrounding terrain.

Iron pitons are set into the rock face for climbing practice, and the daily two-metre water swing caused by the Dalešice pumped-storage plant is a detail to watch for. The wooden heart above the lookout, made by Hartvíkovice native Vlastimil Sedláček in 2021, is easy to miss.
