In the immediate vicinity of the Moravian metropolis, amidst greenery along with the romantic Veveří Castle and cruise ships… perfect relaxation!
This is a place meant for water sports from paddleboards to kayaks, hiking, swimming, eating ice cream, meeting friends and family picnics. You can get to the reservoir by car, by bike or by Brno public transport. It also has regular ship transport, which uses eco-friendly electric power. You can enjoy a trip on a steamer, whether you are here on a family trip or a date for two.
At nearly all docks there are restaurants and beer gardens that will entice you to have a cold beer. Or perhaps you prefer beaches and swimming? The farthest you can get by steamer is up to Veveří Castle across the entire reservoir, and after exploring it you can follow the red tourist route lining the shore back to the main dock in Bystrc. (The distance is approximately 8 kilometres.)
And there’s one thing we must not forget! Every June for many years now, the major international fireworks competition Ignis Brunensis has been held on the surface. It’s an amazing experience, so come right in. And not just to see the fireworks...
