Fláje Dam

The Fláje Dam (Czech: Údolní nádrž Fláje) is located in the Czech part of the Ore Mountains near Český Jiřetín (“Georgendorf”) and dams the Flöha (Czech: Flájský potok) in its upper reaches.

The only pillar dam in the Czech Republic was completed in 1963. The dam is used as a drinking water reservoir for the Most district. The dam is 56 m high and 416 m (with “dam crest” (crown structure?) 459 m) long. The Fláje Dam reservoir covers an area of 153 ha. The water is dammed from a catchment area of approx. 43 km².

Two large and one small hydroelectric power plant with outputs of 2 x 4 MW and 16 kW use the dam water to generate electricity. The water that flows out is dammed up again in the Rauschenbach dam below.

When the dam was built, the town of Fláje ("Fleyh") was flooded and the villages of Vilejšov, Oldříš, Mackov and Pastviny in the water catchment area were abandoned. The dam area also contains the former branch of an old raft canal from the Flöha, which is dry here, reaches Saxon territory after a few kilometers and flows to Clausnitz.

I drove the southern bank of the Fláje dam and found it beautiful; heath and moor-like environment. Almost no people on the way (Saturday, mid-August). Very pretty; no stop but some rest areas.
