Dondukovo reservoir, A water reservoir in Bulgaria

Dondukovo reservoir lies in the Sarnena Sredna Gora, in the Dondukovo villa zone administered by Brezovo municipality, Plovdiv Province, 4 km from Zlatosel and 7 km from Svezhen. It is fed by the Srebra River and by rain and snowmelt, and its level is controlled by Napoitelni Sistemi – Plovdiv. The reservoir is state-owned and unleased.

The reservoir was constructed in 1962 and has served as a water storage system for irrigation and flood control in the region since its completion. The construction reshaped the landscape, requiring the removal of earlier structures and leading to the development of villa communities around the new water body.

The reservoir takes its name from the Dondukovo villa zone, which is administered by Brezovo municipality in Plovdiv province. To build the dam in 1962, every house of the earlier villa settlement was demolished; fifty new villas were then built around the shore, sheltered by a pine forest. In summer, blackberries grow along the road circling the water.

The reservoir is freely accessible without special permits, making it easy to visit and explore the surrounding area on foot. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the paths are dry and the landscape is green.

The reservoir is fed by the Srebra River, whose Bulgarian name means "silver" but which is not the Silver River of English maps. Its level is controlled by the Irrigation Systems company of Plovdiv. The reservoir is state-owned and unleased, and it is managed for trout and carp breeding.
