Slezská Harta – Karlovec (church ruins)
The flooded village of Karlovec (founded in the 16th century) in the Slezská Harta reservoir. Only the church of St John of Nepomuk and the cemetery on the hill survived; the buildings were demolished, leaving walls and rubble and occasionally an intact cellar. The dive starts by swimming about 100 m on a bearing of 90° from the church. Visibility is about 1 m.
