Old railway bridge – a lovely rest area. Parking/starting point for hikes to the Czech Republic.

In 2001, Fláje consisted of 3 houses, in which 20 people lived.[5] From the old village, the foundations of the relocated church and houses are still visible on the eastern shore of the reservoir.

June 11, 2025, Fláje Reservoir

The Flaje Dam (Fláje Dam) The Flaje Dam is a major drinking water reservoir in the Czech part of the Ore Mountains. * Location: It is located in the Eastern Ore Mountains, northwest of the municipality of Český Jiřetín (Georgendorf) and southeast of the town of Fláje (Fleyh), after which it bears its name. It is relatively close to the German-Czech border. * Purpose: Its primary and most important function is to supply drinking water to the region around Most (Brüx) and other parts of Northern Bohemia. Therefore, access to the lake and swimming are strictly prohibited to protect water quality. * Construction: The dam was built between 1951 and 1964. Its construction was a feat of engineering, as it is the only pier dam in the Czech Republic. This means that the dam consists of individual, vertical piers, giving it an unusual and striking appearance.

Pretty little wooden bridge that sags a little and rocks slightly.
