You can find Vodná nádrž Boleráz in the Trnava Region, just 1 kilometer from the village of the same name, Boleráz. It is located 14 kilometers from the city of Trnava and is a popular spot for families with children, seniors, and passionate anglers. The Boleráz water reservoir is situated at the foot of the Malé Karpaty mountains, which is why many visitors come here for beautiful views of the hills or the glistening surface of Boleráz in the moonlight.

The Boleráz reservoir has three tributaries: Trnávka, Smolenický potok, and Luhový potok. It spans an area of 80 hectares and was stocked with fish for the first time in 1966. This body of water primarily serves as a water reservoir for surrounding companies, such as Chemolak Smolenice or the Dr. Oetker factory.

If you love fishing, you will certainly find plenty to enjoy at Vodná nádrž Boleráz. With a valid fishing license, you can catch carp, pike, trout, zander, roach, or rudd here. Fish really thrive here. This is also evidenced by the fact that in 2020, up to 21,000 kilograms of carp were caught here. So, dear anglers, grab your fishing rods, and let a great fishing session begin.

However, you don't have to be an angler to visit Boleráz. Do you enjoy peaceful spots for walks or even romantic moments in nature?

The water reservoirs Dolná Studená Voda and Horná Studená Voda are located in the cadastral area of the village of Borský Svätý Jur in the Senica district. Both were built in 1963 on a site where sand mining pits had previously been excavated in wet meadows. The reservoirs were intended primarily to serve as water storage for agricultural irrigation. In later years, they also began to be used for fish farming and recreational purposes. The upper and lower reservoirs are connected by a reduced canal with a length of 370 m.

The lower reservoir covers an area of 15.75 ha and its average depth is 1.07 m. Until 1992, the reservoirs had the status of a breeding pond and were regularly drained during fish harvesting—the lower reservoir every second year. Even today, both reservoirs are a popular spot for anglers, while the upper reservoir is used by vacationers for swimming and water sports, albeit at their own risk. Numerous waterfowl nest in the area, including rare species on occasion. Near the reservoirs, a campsite, dining options, and sports equipment rental are available.

An international cycling route runs alongside the reservoirs, connecting to both Czech and Austrian cycle paths. The surroundings of the lakes consist of pine forests suitable for a walk.
