About the trip

A romantic dam in the Elbe valley reminiscent of a fairytale castle, ideal for a short trip and a walk.

The Les Královstvi Dam is one of the most beautiful waterworks in the Czech Republic. Thanks to the stone dam, turrets and wooded surroundings, it looks more like a fairy-tale castle than a technical structure.

The trip is suitable for families with children, couples and visitors looking for a shorter and less demanding program. You can take a walk around the dam, enjoy the views of the dam and the water surface, or take a trip to Dvor Králové nad Labem.

The dam is a good choice for a relaxing half-day trip away from the busiest mountain spots. It is most beautiful in good weather, when the contrast between the stone embankment, the forest and the water surface stands out.
