The biggest attraction and historical landmark in Drezdenko county. Built in 1937 dam along with the nearby railway line were intended to flood the area of river Notec in case of attack. The railway embankment was the part of the dam and was supposed hold the water in case of closing the dam and beginning of flood. The dam itself had a machinery inside of the pillars, which allowed the dam closure by rotation of flipper. The flood was supposed to make swamp out of terrain and make it impossible for enemy to attack.As for today there is quite a lot left to see, some mechanisms are still there. Worth visiting!
