Lakes and dams Košúty

Vodná nádrž Kráľová is located on the border of the Trnava and Nitra regions between the towns of Sereď and Šaľa. This reservoir lies on the Váh River, and like other Váh reservoirs, it was built to regulate water in the longest Slovak river. Vodné dielo Kráľová is also called the Kaskády water reservoir. It is a popular spot for cyclists, fishermen, and people who enjoy relaxation by the water.

Nádrž Kráľová and the hydroelectric power plant bearing the same name were put into operation in 1985. In addition to its use as a power plant, gravel and sand were extracted here. Water from the reservoir is also used for irrigation, and the dam naturally serves as flood protection. Approximately every 10 to 15 years, the reservoir is drained for maintenance. It is truly an interesting event, and many visitors come here out of curiosity to observe what lies on its bottom. For example, a large number of freshwater mussels can be found here. Vodné dielo Kráľová is a place with strong wind activity. Since the wind blows here quite often, Vodná nádrž Kráľová is an ideal place for water sports such as windsurfing, yachting, water skiing, or rafting. Swimming in the reservoir is entirely at your own risk, but many residents from surrounding villages such as Šoporňa or Váhovce make use of this option.

Cyclists also love to ride to Vodná nádrž Kráľová because the surrounding area is ideal for long and pleasant flat cycling trips. On the western shore near the recreation area, there is a cycle path that is also used by inline skaters. Other paths around the reservoir are paved and friendly to both hikers and cyclists. The water reservoir is also a Protected Bird Area. Bird lovers come here to observe endangered species and their nesting. You can observe the grey heron and the black-crowned night heron here.

Slnečné jazerá (Sun Lakes) or Senecké jazerá are among the most visited recreation centers in Slovakia. We can find them in the town of Senec. Every year, this location is visited by many families with children, young active holidaymakers, and seniors. The advantage is the low entrance fee, the option to purchase a seasonal pass, and a number of attractions in the area. Slnečné jazerá in Senec are also popular among fishermen, who can pursue their hobby here without any worries.

The lakes were artificially created in 1845, when five separate lakes were formed after gravel dredging. These later merged into one water area with an area of 120 hectares and a depth of up to 12 meters. Since 1919, the place began to be used as a natural swimming area. At that time, it was also known by the name Slovenské Tahiti (Slovak Tahiti).

Today, the resort is divided into three zones - northern, southern, and eastern. The northern side is especially suitable for families with children, as there is an Aquathermal Senec water park with water attractions and a playground for children. However, you will find various attractions for active holidaymakers in every part. You will appreciate the beach volleyball courts, football fields, and tennis courts.

Water sports are a matter of course here. You can practice Zumba and yoga, or explore the surroundings faster on scooters, which you can rent. During the summer, various musical events held directly on the premises are also very popular.
