Flood alert ends in Český Krumlov after month

The level of the Vltava River in Český Krumlov fell below flood alert for the first in four weeks on Wednesday. The change followed a reduced outflow from South Bohemia’s Lipno Dam.

The river level in Český Krumlov on Wednesday morning stood at 183 centimetres, 40 centimetres below a recent peak caused by rain and thawing snow, according to data from the Czech Hydro-Meteorological Institute.
