Most Lake, a unique natural gem of Northern Bohemia, was created in the place of a former coal mine where brown coal was once extracted. Today, it represents a remarkable blend of industrial history and natural beauty. The lake has become a popular destination, mainly thanks to its crystal-clear water, sandy beaches, and the stunning view of the majestic Hněvín Castle. Beneath the surface of Most Lake lie the remains of the flooded village of Kost, including the Church of St. Bartholomew, which was uniquely saved in the 1970s – moved aside on rails.
