First a note about previous data processing. My original data (from a LIDAR scan) is a text .asc file with the internal structure looking like this:
457758.77;110272.34;353.89
457758.77;110273.34;353.77
457758.77;110274.34;353.48
457758.77;110275.34;353.21
457758.77;110276.34;352.79
...
I can't import the data directly to QGIS as it doesn't recognize the format. So I used CloudCompare to convert the point cloud data to a DEM tiff image, available here: uncompressed smarna.tiff (69 MB) or compressed smarna.7z (10 MB).
When I import the generated tiff image in QGIS it correctly renders the shaded elevation profile, and can even render as contours using "Symbology -> Band Rendering -> Contours" in the layer properties.
However, when I try to generate a contour layer with "Raster -> Extract -> Contour", the resulting contours layer is empty. This is the log output of the contour tool:

Algorithm 'Contour' finished
The layer information shows that the generated contour file for 10 m elevation interval is ~5 MB large and has 1439 "features", however no contour lines are visible in QGIS.
Here is the generated contour file: uncompressed OUTPUT.gpkg (5 MB) or compressed OUTPUT.7z (1 kB).

I downloaded your contour geopackage. Open it with QGIS, right click the layer -> Layer CRS -> Set Layer CRS -> Search for "3912" -> OK
Your contour lines should be where you want them
