Pískovna Hlušovice sand quarry
Pískovna Hlušovice
Once a popular swimming spot, this sand quarry is now better suited for fishing due to concerns about water quality and nearby construction.

This local spot in Hlušovice has seen better days, but might still be worth a visit depending on what you're looking for.

Why go

If you're a fisherman, this could be a nice, quiet place to cast a line. Some visitors still find it to be a romantic and pleasant spot, despite the changes over the years.

Why avoid

The biggest issue here is the water quality. Visitors have reported that the water smells bad and is not clean, with some even seeing dead fish. For this reason, it's not recommended for swimming.

Additionally, the landscape has changed. New houses have been built right next to the quarry, and some of the mature trees have been cut down, which has disappointed people who knew the place from before.
