    The reservoir was built from 1958-1962 to supply the nearby brown coal power plant in Turow with hot and cold water.
    After extreme precipitation in August 2010, first the dam between the Kristynasee and the Neisse in Hradek nad Nisu and then on 07.08.2010 the old dam burst, which led to severe flooding and damage in the towns along the Neisse.
    Today, these are largely eliminated, but flood tags on some buildings and plaques still announce it.

    Newly built dam, the old one was broken in August 2010 and caused a lot of suffering.
