The Skalka Dam (Vodní nádrž Skalka) is located west of the city of Cheb in the Czech Republic. It damms the Eger. It was built between 1962 and 1964 to ensure the drinking water supply for the city of Cheb and also flood protection. The Horka dam took over the function of a drinking water reservoir from 1969 onwards. Since then, Skalka has served as a water storage tank for industry in the Cheb area and was released for recreational purposes. The Skalka and Jesenice waterworks form a common water management system. The dam is located at the southern foot of the Spitalsky vrch (Spittelberg) in the western city of Cheb and has a height of 14.6 meters. The top of the dam is 114 meters long and four meters wide. The dam holds 13.66 million cubic meters of water (13.66 billion liters), and its reservoir extends over 9.2 kilometers to the German border.

The Eger dam and the banks of the Eger form a beautiful green lung and recreational area for the town of Cheb.
