Brněnská přehrada
A concrete gravity dam on the Svratka river built in 1936–1940, covering 259 ha. The bottom is flat and visibility is usually about 1 m, though for a few days at the end of spring the water clears to several metres. Entry is by the steps. Health officials do not recommend swimming here and cyanobacteria are common in summer.
