Sedlice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Below the village of Sedlice lies the Sedlice Reservoir in the rugged landscape of the Křemešnická vrchovina. The reservoir covers 38 hectares; its impounded water extends for 3 kilometres.

History

The Sedlice Reservoir was built in 1927 behind the confluence of the Hejlovka and Hejnický potok, near the point where the Želivka is formed from the two watercourses. A prominent structure is the 120-metre-long stone bridge with ten arches and a concrete parapet, which spans the crest of the dam. The dam of the Sedlice Reservoir bears ÚSKP number 104938.

Nature

The forests around the Sedlice Reservoir are ideal for walks and mushroom picking. The use of the Sedlice Reservoir for recreation, water sports and sport fishing is subordinate to its primary purpose.

Routes

A road from Želiv via Sedlice to Humpolec leads to the dam of the Sedlice Reservoir. The Sedlice Reservoir and its dam are open to the public. A cycle path runs parallel to the red-marked hiking trail to the Sedlická hydroelektrárna. The Sedlická hydroelektrárna can be reached from several starting points and combined with other tourist destinations.

Access

The interior of the Sedlická hydroelektrárna is normally not accessible to tourists; however, an individual tour can be requested from the operator.
