Slezská Harta (reservoir)
A drinking-water-headwater reservoir on the Moravice river, filled in 1997, with partly flooded villages and a sunken bridge whose arch top lies at about 40 m (about 50 m at the bottom), visited in a 1999 technical-diving event. According to the listing, diving is prohibited in the protective zone from the dam to a yellow buoy line about 1 km away and in the upper inflow reaches (spawning areas). Only motor vessels of the reservoir management and authorities may operate there, and access is by boat only, so independent diving is effectively not possible.
