Location: Český Jiřetín, 418 01 Bohosudov · Ústí nad Labem Region

Category: reservoir

Fláje Reservoir is a water reservoir built in 1963 to supply water to the sub-Krušné Mountains region. The concrete buttress dam is the only one of its kind in the Czech Republic. The site offers beautiful views of the landscape and the opportunity to learn about water management structures.

Why visit this place?

• The dam has a hollow structure, chosen because cement was in short supply during construction, and that design is why it is a listed cultural monument.
• For the 50th anniversary of the dam entering service, Česká pošta issued a stamp of Fláje on 15 May 2013 in its Technické památky ČR series.
• Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 1,971 visitors on Google Maps.
• Admission is free, which helps when the class budget is tight.
• Allow roughly an hour; the programme is aimed at lower primary, upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 44 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
