Liptovská Mara
Žilina Region
Liptovská Mara is a significant reservoir located on the Váh river in the Žilina Region of northern Slovakia, near the town of Liptovský Mikuláš. Constructed between 1965 and 1975, the reservoir spans an area of approximately 22 square kilometers, with a maximum depth reaching 45 meters and a capacity of 360 million cubic meters. The dam's primary purpose is flood prevention, but it also contributes to hydroelectric power generation. The creation of the reservoir led to the inundation of thirteen villages and necessitated the relocation of a major railway and road. Today, Liptovská Mara serves as a popular recreational site, attracting visitors for activities such as boating, fishing, and hiking. Notably, the reconstructed Celtic oppidum Havránok is situated on a hill overlooking the reservoir, offering cultural and historical insights into the region's ancient past.
ヒント: The best time to visit Liptovská Mara is during late spring through early autumn when recreational activities on the water are most enjoyable. Visitors interested in history should plan to visit the nearby Havránok archaeological site. It is advisable to check local information for any guided tours and to purchase tickets in advance for the oppidum to avoid queues. Discounts may be available for students, seniors, and groups. Access by car is convenient, and there are facilities for parking and local amenities near the reservoir.
