The Naděje Dam, formerly known as the Hoffnung Dam or Hammer Dam, is a water reservoir in the Czech Republic. It is located at an altitude of 455 metres above sea level, about 1.5 kilometres north of the village of Naděje in the municipality of Cvikov in the Lusatian Mountains. The dam is located in the deep, wooded valley of the Hamerský potok (Hammer Stream) below the Suchý vrch (Dürrberg). The dam was built between 1937 and 1938 by the Teplitz master builder A. Niklas. The 91.57 metre long and 9.5 metre high dam is made of phonolite rock from the nearby Suchý vrch. The dam crest is 1.7 metres wide and has an overflow over a length of 33 metres. The dam originally served as a water reservoir for the hammer mill and the sawmill in the Hamr settlement. In addition, a chain of bunkers of the Czechoslovak Wall has been running south of the dam since 1936, reminding us of the historical importance of the region.
