Where to go on a trip Opočno (okres Rychnov nad Kněžnou)

Vodní nádrž Rozkoš, completed in 1969 on the stream of the same name, ranks as the eighth largest reservoir in the Czech Republic. It spans an area of 800 hectares, situated near the town of Česká Skalice. The average depth of the Rozkoš reservoir is 10 metres. It is sometimes referred to as the "East Bohemian Sea", as it serves as one of the points of interest in Eastern Bohemia, located in the very heart of the Kladské pomezí region.

Its primary function is flood protection, and it also serves to support the flow of the Úpa river, which flows into the Labe. The reservoir is utilised for recreation, water sports, and fishing. Visitors may arrive by car and park at the car park located directly at the reservoir. Naturally, it is also possible to travel in a slightly more adventurous manner by train or bus.

In addition to accommodation facilities, visitors have access to refreshment stalls, playgrounds, minigolf, and sanitary facilities. The Vodní nádrž Rozkoš is also a popular destination for surfing and yachting.

Should some visitors not be particularly fond of relaxation and lounging by the water, they are invited to explore the surrounding area. The entire area of the reservoir and the nearby Babiččino údolí (Grandmother's Valley) offer a rich historical atmosphere. One of the most famous Czech writers, the author of the renowned book Babička, attended school in Česká Skalice. In the town, it is also possible to visit the Muzeum Boženy Němcové.

It is therefore more than clear that there will be no boredom here.
