Amazing industrial piece of human work and skill in the middle of the resilient nature. Must have taken loads of effort to built and run it in this rough enviroment. Great panoramatic views of the surrounding peaks. Accessible on foot (as we did) or by chairlift and shuttle bus (opening hours on the web).

Please note this review is not about the dam itself (you can get there on foot for free and it's nice place to visit), but the add-ons 'built' around it. ----- The chair lift goes up only until 5pm (in summer, when there is light until 9pm). It costs 1100kč for 2 adults and a child 14 y.o. (that's approx. 44eur). The last bus from the upper station to the dam goes at 16:30 (why not 17:15 if the lift up goes until 5pm?. If you miss the last bus, you will walk 3km to the Dlouhe Strane dam (that was a nice part). When you get there (after 4pm), the buffet and scooter rental place is already closed. If you go in summer, take enough water. The views are beautiful, the dam itself not really as it is a big, tar covered, concrete pool. But it is interesting to see anyway. You'll walk cca 8km back to the bottom station of the lift (because the lift does not go after 5pm) where the carpark is. The carpark costs you extra 200kč ( 8eur) for 5 hours of parking. You will need about 4 hours for the trip to the dam if you start past 4:30 pm and miss the last bus and lift down. The visitor centre/ ticket office/ restaurants at the bottom lift station is nice but a little chaotic. There are no arrows for Toilets or arrows pointing to the chair lift station which is not visible from the visitor centre. I have not been this bewildered with sloppiness for a long time.
