The dam Skalka (Czech Vodní nádrž Skalka) is located west of the city Cheb in the Czech Republic. She is damaging the Eger. Between 1962 and 1964, the dam was built in Egertal, which was designed to provide drinking water to the city of Cheb and next to the flood protection. The function as drinking water reservoir took over from 1969, the dam Horka. Skalka has since served as a water heater for the industry in the Cheb area and was released for recreational purposes. The waterworks Skalka and Jesenice form a common water management system. Since 2001, there are two small power plants at the dam. The dam crest is 114 m long and 4 m wide. The dam holds 13.66 million m³ of water, its reservoir extends over 9.2 kilometers to Pomezná below the confluence of the Röslau at the German border. South of the reservoir rises the Zelená hora (Grünberg) with a Bismarck tower. In the northeast lies the Komorní hůrka (Kammerbühl).
