Vodní nádrž Boskovice

The location would be nice, but there are so many bans that there is nothing ...

Nice dike and a quiet trip

That is true, the bans themselves are everywhere, and it is now dropped because it is being repaired. But the sight of the drained dam also has its charm, you just have to find a clever place.

Newly renovated dam. She's very pretty. Nice trails lead to it, so it's a suprovka.

The dam is in the protection zone, a ban on all sides, so you can't look, I don't understand why

Very nice Sunday walk

If I had to evaluate the Boskovice dam as a tourist, it would not get many stars; as a water tank for drinking is in the protection zone, so entry to the banks and the surrounding area is prohibited. If I were to evaluate it as a user of drinking water, it would get an even worse rating, because during its entire 30-year existence, it has never been used as a source of drinking water. The dam was built on the river Bělá in the Melkovské valley, the area of ​​about 53 ha was flooded. The construction was started in 1985 by the company Ingstav Brno, the construction works were completed in the middle of 1990, the waterworks has been in full operation since 1994. At present, it is the administrator of the Povodí Moravy dam, s.p. Since 1980, when the project was created, the dam has been planned as a water reservoir for the supply of drinking water in the Blansko and Boskovice regions. Due to the fact that at the time of completion of the dam, sufficient groundwater resources were found, both in the area of ​​Boskovice and Blansko, the water from the dam was not used for supply. The waterworks is used only for water management regulation; in times of drought, it improves the flow of the Bělá river and further to Svitavy and, on the contrary, reduces the peak flows during floods. Since 1997, a small hydroelectric power plant with an output of 43 kW has been installed at the outlets. The dam is still kept as a backup source of drinking water, so the vicinity of the reservoir is in the protective water zone. There is a ban on entry, the dam cannot be used for recreational purposes. The dam and the area under the dam underwent a significant reconstruction, which ensured greater safety of VD during floods. Construction worth approximately CZK 150 million was started in August 2017 and completed in May 2020. Since 2005, the Morava River Basin has been allowing tourists to cross the dam on an asphalt road. Entry is allowed in the period November - March from 9 am to 3 pm, in the period April - October from 8 am to 6 pm. Entry is allowed only on foot, there is a ban on cycling (the bike can be guided), dogs must be tied to a leash.
