About
Quick facts: The park area was established by the 1992 regulation, covering 63,500 hectares and providing a home to more than 200 bird species. The water mass in the reservoir is 0.495 km3, supported by the dam which also serves the local agriculture and supplies electricity.
Highlights: Its 250 kilometers of shoreline hide numerous small bays and islands where special bird sounds echo during summer sunsets. The development of rural tourism is exemplary, with local craft markets attracting thousands of visitors annually.
Insider tips

- Do not miss the Svirka lookout point, from where every detail of the landscape is impressive.
- Avoid weekends if you want to skip larger crowds.
- Take photos at sunset, as the color and light play on the water surface are breathtaking.
