Tips
The Janov dam is beautifully situated in the narrow valley of the Loupnice. The "Kgl. Stadt Brix in Böhmen" had it built in 1912/13 to ensure the drinking water supply of its then 19,000 inhabitants. The company "Ausbau von Talsperre Berndt, Schwarzer and Wurm" from Brüx/Most had built it using the most modern technology at the time; at 53m it became the highest dam in Austria-Hungary.
