The dam northwest of Brno was created in the 1930s and it flooded the old village “Kníničky”. New village with the same name was built nearby and the ruins of the original place have been decaying under water…
…until now – the dam is being cleaned and it has extremly low level of water, which exposes the ruins of the destroyed village. Although the place smells and there is really nothing beautiful to see, it atracts many people these days.

Old Kníničky today
If you are going to visit the ruins of old Kníničky, don’t touch any suspicious objects there – some explosives from World War II were found nearby in recent days.
