Kamchiya, Stausee in Bulgarien
Kamchiya is a large reservoir in Bulgaria built to store water for irrigation and drinking water supply. The calm waters are fed by several rivers and surrounded by open, flat terrain with green banks.
Built in 1973, the reservoir has served as a vital water source for the regions of Burgas and Varna for decades. It was constructed to support irrigation, agriculture, and drinking water supply for nearby communities.
The reservoir is easily accessible by car or bike, with quiet paths along the shores for walking and relaxing. Visitors should note that the surroundings are open and flat, so bringing water and sun protection is wise.
The reservoir stores over 230 million cubic meters of water fed by seven different rivers that combine their watersheds. Fish species such as carp, catfish, and bream are among the most popular catches for anglers visiting the site.
