Orlík Reservoir: Catfish lurk in the windows of a sunken farmhouse

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Orlík Reservoir: Catfish lurk in the windows of a sunken farmhouse.

Imagine swimming through the remains of an old farm – with catfish sitting in the window frames. That's exactly what happened to two divers in the Orlík Reservoir.

The low water level made it easier to explore the historic ruins, Focus Stars reports.

The two sport divers discovered not only the architecture of the sunken farmhouse, but also its animal inhabitants. In the windows of the flooded farm, catfish waited, while in other spots pike-perch joined them.

What the divers saw in the reservoir

Normally, the farmhouse lies deep below the water's surface. Only at low water do parts of the historic walls become accessible to divers – as is the case right now.

For the two, it was a brief window: they glided past window frames and came face to face with the fish in their hiding spots. Once the water level rises again, the farm disappears back into the depths.
