<p>L'avion commence à tranquillement descendre et nous permettent d'apercevoir le plancher des vaches. Ou presque puisqu'ici nous avons à faire à un des plus importants réservoirs de la Tchéquie permettant de réguler le niveau de la Vltava, le plus fleuve du pays traversant sa capitale un peu plus au Nord. Dans le coin en bas à gauche, nous apercevons le barrage hydro-électrique éponyme permettant également de produire de l'électricité. L'ensemble fut mis en place pendant la période communiste durant 7 ans (1954 - 1961) et en employant 1 500 ouvriers au total. Bien sur, de nombreux villages et hameaux furent ensevelis sous les eaux comme à chaque réservoir de cet envergure.<br />
