Bílovec Reservoir, přehradní nádrž na Jamníku v Bílovci v okrese Nový Jičín
Bílovec Reservoir is a large body of water in the town of Bílovec in the Czech Republic that serves for water storage and recreation. The water is surrounded by trees and fields with calm shorelines featuring pathways where visitors can walk or fish.
The reservoir was built in the mid-20th century to store water and support local farming. Over the years it became an important part of the town's landscape and now serves mainly for water management and recreation.
The reservoir is a gathering place where local people come to spend quiet days by the water and the community takes care of its surroundings. Residents organize regular cleanup events and fishing days that bring neighbors together to share time outdoors and strengthen their connection to the environment.
The reservoir is easily accessible from the town center and has well-maintained pathways around the water. Visitors can fish during fishing season, sit on benches, or take walks, but camping or staying overnight without permission is not allowed.
In late September a special event takes place where local fishermen and volunteers work together to remove fish from the reservoir, with some specimens weighing over 50 pounds. The sediment at the bottom is then cleaned to improve water quality and prevent muddy buildup.
