Travel Tip: Dalesice Dam, the deepest dam in the Czech Republic
Dear Steemit friends and followers,
Welcome to my Travel Tip series where I promote some of the most beautiful places, interesting landmarks and impressive architectural sites of my homeland, the Czech Republic.
Today, I will take you to one of the most impressive natural places of the country, the picturesque Dalesice Dam.

Located near the town of Trebic in the Vysocina Region of the country, the Dalesice Dam is a huge water reservoir that was built on the Jihlava River between 1970 and 1978.
With a maximum depth of 85.5 m (280.5 ft), it is the deepest dam in the country and it also boasts one of the tallest dam embankments in Central Europe. The Dalesice Dam was originally built to provide water for the nearby Dalesice Nuclear Plant but because of its beautiful natural surroundings, it soon became a popular tourist destination too.

There are many great hiking trails and bike lanes leading through deep forests around the dam and visitors can also choose from a variety of hotels and camps situated very close to the water. There are several well-maintained beaches where people can enjoy wild swimming. The dam is also home to numerous animal species (especially water birds) which will be certainly appreciated by wildlife enthusiasts.
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.

I'm really really happy to see your country is in rich in dams.
To be very honest It's one of the most beautiful dams I have ever seen.
Sadly Pakistani Pakistan is running short of water by 2025, but no one is thinking to build A dam, Government is corrupt, This thing worry us all :(
I am afraid that the water shortage is a world phenomenon that is only getting worse.... We really need to start taking care of our planet without any delay, otherwise, our next generations will be in trouble.....
But no one thinks the way we are thinking :) and we don't have power to do anything :(
