Swimming in Orlík Reservoir
Orlík Reservoir has been a traditional recreation area for almost 60 years. However, water quality is not always suitable for swimming everywhere, but it is monitored regularly.
The water quality is monitored by the Regional Hygiene Station of České Budějovice, and you can find updated information here: [Swimming in natural waters – Season 2023 (khscb.cz)].
We recommend swimming from Orlík Castle towards the Orlík Dam. In this area, the water remains clean the longest, while algal blooms appear later than in other parts of the reservoir.
