Dalešická přehrada – pilíře (mill-race bridge piers)
A technical-style tour of a flooded old bridge structure in the Dalešice reservoir, found in spring 2001: two abutments, four pillars and one bridge arch over a mill race. The attraction lies at about 33–35 m depending on water level. Guide lines with signs and arrows lead along an upper and a lower route that both reach the third pillar; plan at least half an hour. Average visibility is about 2 m.
