December 13, 2024, View of Nýrsko Reservoir

The dam was built in 1969 by flooding the valley of Úhlava/Angel. The stone dam is 36 m high and 337 m wide. The capacity of the reservoir is one million m3. A nice place to linger.

The Nýrsko Dam (Czech: Vodní nádrž Nýrsko) is a drinking water dam on the Úhlava in the Czech Republic. It is located three kilometers south of Nýrsko in the Klatovy District. The place is ideal for a short rest.

Beautiful lake in a magnificent hilly and mountainous landscape. You can see it very well from the cycle path. The path later leads directly over the dam.
