Brezno: Nechranice Reservoir

About location

The landscape around Nechranice Reservoir is broad, open and gently rolling, which has shaped both settlement patterns and local life. The reservoir lies on the Ohře River in north-western Bohemia and was created by the construction of Nechranice Dam between 1961 and 1968. Its extensive water surface transformed the Ohře valley into an important setting for water management and recreation, with shores used by anglers, sailors and other water-sports participants. Upstream stands Kadaň, a former royal town with a preserved historic centre. Nechranice brings a major late-20th-century engineering work into the open country at the foot of the Ore Mountains.

Březno combines a quiet rural rhythm with the industrially shaped setting of north-western Bohemia in a way that reflects its position in the Most Basin below the Ore Mountains. This municipality in the Chomutov District lies south-east of Chomutov, where open farmland and the broad basin contrast with higher ground to the north. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul forms a historic focal point in the village, while the wider area has long been associated with lignite extraction and energy production. Březno provides context for the working landscapes that have helped define this part of Czechia. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Ústí nad Labem Region.

The Ore Mountains and the Elbe valley define much of Ústecký kraj - coalfields, fertile river slopes and a major transport route have shaped its industry, agriculture and settlement. Around Most, decades of lignite extraction have altered the basin, with extensive land reclamation continuing alongside active mining. To the north, the region reaches the Elbe Sandstone landscape of Bohemian Switzerland National Park, home to Pravčická brána, a natural sandstone arch. The Elbe also links Ústí nad Labem with Litoměřice and Terezín, whose 18th-century fortress later became a Nazi ghetto and prison during the Second World War.

Country Czechia

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.
