Lake Blaguš, reservoir in Slovenia
Lake Blaguš is an artificial reservoir in the village of Blaguš, within the municipality of Sveti Jurij ob Ščavnici in northern Slovenia. It was formed by damming the Blaguški potok stream, which remains its main inflow. The lake is stocked with carp, pike, zander, catfish, tench, rainbow trout, rudd and pumpkinseed.
The reservoir was built in the early 1960s by damming the Blaguški potok stream. It was originally created to gather excess water during rainy autumn and spring seasons and to keep the land irrigated during summer dry periods.
The lake takes its name from the village of Blaguš where it is located. Today the local community uses it mainly for fishing and as a place for simple leisure activities like walks and picnics with family and friends.
