At Lake Most, viewing and relaxation spots will be created, along with a reminder of the church.

Most - This year, trees and shrubs will be planted in the shape of the church's perimeter walls and the location of the altar at Lake Most. The planting at the site of the original sanctuary will commemorate its relocation. Work will be done on the access road to the lake, creating viewpoints and rest areas for tourists. Hana Volfová, spokesperson for the state enterprise Diamo, which manages the site, stated this to ČTK. The deadline for property settlement between the state and the city regarding the land will expire at the end of the year.

On the slope by the lake, which was created by filling a brown coal pit, trees are gradually being planted at the original site of the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. A new resting area for visitors to the recreational area will be created. "We will plant a total of 45 trees and 26 shrubs in the shape of the perimeter walls and the location of the altar. Benches and information boards will also be installed," said Volfová. The planting at the original site of the church is intended to serve as a natural memorial to the unique relocation of this historical monument in 1975 due to the advancing brown coal mining.

The roads around the lake will be widened in some places to allow vehicles to pass. Retaining walls will be constructed on the road used by integrated rescue system vehicles, the administrator's vehicles, and primarily for cyclists, runners, and pedestrians.

Diamo plans to start building a viewpoint for tourists and cyclists on the northern slope of the lake near the cycle path that runs along the Most - Mariánské Radčice road. "The chosen location is elevated compared to the surrounding terrain, so it will not be a lookout tower, but rather a steel footbridge leading into the open space towards the lake. The viewpoint will provide an unobstructed view not only of the lake itself but also of the entire city, including Mount Hněvín, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, and other landmarks," Volfová stated.

Visitors heading to the lake even in winter will have a second snack stall available, including amenities and a pergola. Air fresheners will be added. The city will also implement a photo point with the inscription Most and a rotating heart. "We are working on building more facilities, and the number of toilets should be increased. We are considering a facility that could serve as a water sports rental, and we are thinking about a playground for the youngest visitors," said Mayor Marek Hrvol (ProMOST). Parking will remain free.

Most manages the main recreational zone of the lake on the southern slopes based on lease agreements and a loan agreement. The deadline for the complete property settlement of the lake area is set for December 31, 2023. "For now, we are investing money in foreign land, which is not ideal. The city is preparing a development study between the lake and the church and would like to discuss the southern part with the state enterprise. It will depend on the conditions. We definitely do not want the water surface," Hrvol stated. According to Hrvol, the annual maintenance of the lake costs between 20 and 30 million crowns.

Lake Most is a stagnant lake, meaning it has no natural inflow or outflow. Since the end of filling in 2014, it has been showing an annual passive balance, which must be subsidized to maintain the operational level of the water work, according to Volfová. "Currently, there is no alternative for replenishing Lake Most from another source than through the water supply from the Ohře River, but we are negotiating the conditions for a second possible source of replenishment," added Diamo's spokesperson.
