Water and Remembrance

The construction of the reservoir on the Křetínka from 1972 to 1978 flooded the settlement of Stavení and the lower-lying part of Lazinov. At the viewpoint above the former site of the Masákův Mill, a bench and a Vodník figure commemorate the old mill and the flooded part of the municipality. From there, there is a view of the now-flooded Křetínka Valley.
