Leskovec nad Moravici: Slezská Harta Dam
Built around a rural settlement in the Moravice valley, Leskovec nad Moravicí grew into a small municipality on the shore of Slezská Harta Reservoir. The reservoir was created on the Moravice between 1987 and 1997 and is among Czechia’s largest water bodies, extending through the foothills of the Nízký Jeseník. Its dam was built chiefly for flood protection and water management; today, the long, branching shoreline also supports sailing, angling and other low-key recreation. The reservoir changed the character of this part of Czech Silesia, replacing a narrow river valley with a broad expanse of water framed by wooded slopes, fields and scattered settlements. Leskovec provides a quiet local base for exploring the reservoir and the wider Bruntál area.

Moravian-Silesian Region combines an industrial legacy with mountain terrain in a way that reflects its position between the historic lands of Moravia and Silesia on Czechia’s northeastern frontier. Ostrava, its largest city, developed around coal mining and ironmaking; the former Vítkovice ironworks, now the Dolní Vítkovice cultural complex, remain a defining reminder of that era. Beyond the urban basin, the Beskydy range rises in the southeast, while the Oder has its source in the Oderské vrchy. Opava adds another thread of Silesian identity through its historic centre and cultural life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Moravian-Silesian Region.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
