So lonely, so beautiful. A wonderful place to feel nature and let your thoughts flow. However, you may not enter the shore areas, drinking water reservoir!

The Flaje Dam (Fláje Dam)
The Flaje Dam is a major drinking water reservoir in the Czech part of the Ore Mountains.
* Location: It is located in the Eastern Ore Mountains, northwest of the municipality of Český Jiřetín (Georgendorf) and southeast of the town of Fláje (Fleyh), after which it bears its name. It is relatively close to the German-Czech border.
* Purpose: Its primary and most important function is to supply drinking water to the region around Most (Brüx) and other parts of Northern Bohemia. Therefore, access to the lake and swimming are strictly prohibited to protect water quality.
* Construction: The dam was built between 1951 and 1964. Its construction was a feat of engineering, as it is the only pier dam in the Czech Republic. This means that the dam consists of individual, vertical piers, giving it an unusual and striking appearance.

Once you've been there, you don't really want to leave.
To explore the rest, the seclusion and, with a little less water, the remains of the former village of Fleyh (Fláje) and become aware of what a beautiful area up there is and what luck the former residents had, to have been allowed to live there. I always go there when I am in the area :)
