Tsonevo Reservoir, Reservoir in the Luda Kamchiya valley, Varna Province, Bulgaria

Tsonevo Reservoir is a water body nestled in the Luda Kamchiya valley within the Eastern Stara Planina mountains. The shoreline is lined with thick forest and rocky cliffs that rise from the water's edge.

The reservoir was built in 1974 as part of Bulgaria's infrastructure development to supply water to the surrounding region. Its construction marked a turning point for how local water resources were managed and used for industry and settlements.

The reservoir is officially still named Georgi Traykov, after the longtime leader of the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union, though locals call it Tsonevo. Its warm waters hold white amur, bream, crucian carp, perch, bighead carp, sunfish, catfish, bleak and carp, drawing anglers. Guesthouses cluster in Tsonevo and Asparuhovo.

The dam wall stands about a kilometre west of Tsonevo village, and the reservoir is reached by road or by the Sofia–Karlovo–Varna railway line. The tail of the lake, where Chudnite Skali rises, is the usual starting point for walks along the shore. Banks are earthen and can turn muddy after rain.

The reservoir's official name remains Georgi Traykov, given in 1975 after the agrarian politician, because no presidential decree has renamed it since 1989; a 2020 State Gazette entry lists it as "Georgi Traykov (Tsonevo)". The Chudnite Skali rock formation lies at the reservoir's tail.
