Leskovec nad Moravici: Slezská Harta Dam
Leskovec nad Moravicí has served as a farming settlement in Czech Silesia since the medieval period. It stands on the shore of the Slezská Harta reservoir, created by damming the Moravice River between 1987 and 1997. Covering about 870 hectares, it is the largest reservoir in the Moravian-Silesian Region and a defining feature of the surrounding uplands. Leskovec’s small harbour, shore paths and waterside facilities connect the village with boating and recreation on the reservoir. The dam is a major late-20th-century water-engineering project, built for flood protection and water supply.

Leskovec nad Moravicí sits on the shore of the Slezská Harta reservoir in Czechia’s Moravian-Silesian Region, where the Moravice River has been dammed among the rolling uplands of Nízký Jeseník. Completed in 1997, the reservoir is a major piece of regional water infrastructure and has reshaped the former river valley into a broad recreational landscape. The small municipality is surrounded by a mix of woodland, fields and scattered settlements, with the reservoir providing its defining horizon.

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.
