Lakes and dams Drážovce

The Lipovina water reservoir is located in the Nitriansky kraj region near the village of Bátovce, not far from the town of Levice. This water body lies on the border of the Podunajská nížina lowland and the Štiavnické vrchy. It is a popular spot not only for locals who come here to relax by the water, but also for fishermen and vacationers looking to swim or unwind.

Lipovina was built on the stream called Jabloňovka in the 1960s. Its primary purpose was agricultural use for irrigating surrounding fields. In addition, the reservoir served to balance water flow and provide flood protection. The Lipovina water body has always attracted local residents, who also took care of its surroundings. They built sanitary facilities, buffets, a restaurant, and even a campsite here.

Since the inflow of the Jabloňovka stream is no longer as strong, the water in the Lipovina reservoir stagnates rather than exchanges. Therefore, the water quality is no longer what it used to be, and swimming is permitted at your own risk. Nevertheless, families with children and groups of friends enjoy gathering here. Children splash around in the water while adults refresh themselves at the buffets and enjoy the sun-drenched beach. Access to the water is gradual, and the surrounding nature full of trees provides plenty of shade if you want to hide from the sun.

You can comfortably reach the Lipovina water reservoir by car, as well as on foot or by bike along the educational trail named „Okolo mesta kráľovien“. That is what Bátovce used to be called. It starts at the Roman Catholic Church of Svätý Martin in Bátovce and ends at the water reservoir. Its length is 5.3 kilometers and it will lead you past the Bátovská kúria manor house, across the Baroque bridge (Barokový most), further through the Ľochy wine-growing settlement, where the Lipovina grape variety is grown, all the way to the reservoir of the same name. Information boards will tell you a piece of history about the town where queens used to meet.

The Bátovské jazero, as it is also called, is a paradise for fishermen. Cyprinid fish thrive here, and given its quiet and peaceful location, the Lipovina reservoir is made for a proper fishing trip. In addition to carp and pike-perch, catfish were also stocked here in the past. So fishermen, grab your rods and catch your fish.
