The water is already falling slightly, “said the director of the memorial, Kamila Chvojková. According to her, people should postpone their visit to the memorial now.
“The water has made quite a hole in the dam, it is in a state of disrepair. Technical services Chrudim brought temporary barriers and blocked the opening.
