Slezská Harta

Slezská Harta Dam was officially launched in 1987, but in 1986, some buildings had already been built and an extensive geological survey of the entire site facilities had previously been carried out.

Slezská Harta Dam currently supplies an important element of flood protection in the lower Moravice River. The records chronicled in the village of Razová suggest the importance of that protection, which indicate that the flooding in the village history significantly interfered with the life of local residents.

The Moravice River, on which was built the Slezská Harta Dam between 1987 and 1997, is historically considered to be the border between Moravia and Silesia. This area was rarely inhabited in prehistoric and medieval times due to adverse natural conditions such as poor soils and a large proportion of forests.
