The Luhačovice Reservoir is built on the Luhačovický potok. It was built in 1912–1930. Its primary task was flood protection, but today it is mainly used for sports and recreational purposes.[2]

From the first half of the 17th century until 1945, it was part of the Luhačovice estate, owned by the Serényi family. In 1758, Pozlovice was promoted to a market town by Empress Maria Theresa.[3]
