ノイウハウゼン/エルツゲビルジの天然記念物・トップ20

A very beautiful and interesting hike around the Fláje reservoir. The history of the village of Fleyh, which had to be relocated for the construction of the dam, is particularly moving. Everything is explained very clearly on several information panels around the reservoir.

The Flaje Dam (Fláje Dam) The Flaje Dam is a major drinking water reservoir in the Czech part of the Ore Mountains. * Location: It is located in the Eastern Ore Mountains, northwest of the municipality of Český Jiřetín (Georgendorf) and southeast of the town of Fláje (Fleyh), after which it bears its name. It is relatively close to the German-Czech border. * Purpose: Its primary and most important function is to supply drinking water to the region around Most (Brüx) and other parts of Northern Bohemia. Therefore, access to the lake and swimming are strictly prohibited to protect water quality. * Construction: The dam was built between 1951 and 1964. Its construction was a feat of engineering, as it is the only pier dam in the Czech Republic. This means that the dam consists of individual, vertical piers, giving it an unusual and striking appearance.

Great excursion destination, you can also go around by bike or on foot🚵🏻🚶🏻🚶‍♀️🚵‍♀️ There is also a restaurant for refreshments right near the dam 🌭🥪🍺🧃

always worth a trip

There is also a restaurant near the dam.

The stream that has been dammed to form the alluvial ponds flows into the Mortelgrund at the Mortelmühle. Overall, the area with its bodies of water, riverbanks, mountain meadows and wet meadows represents a very valuable habitat.

Pure landscape, you feel absolutely in silence

This is pure nature 👍😅
