Studena Reservoir

Studena Reservoir is a large water storage basin in the Pernik region formed by damming a river. The body of water stretches across several kilometers with forested hills rising along its shoreline, creating a natural landscape of water and wooded slopes.

The reservoir was created in the 20th century when a dam was built to supply water and generate power for the Pernik region. This infrastructure became essential to the area's industrial and agricultural development.

The reservoir can be reached from several roads around the Pernik region with viewpoints available along the shoreline. Visit during warmer months when the paths are most accessible and the water is inviting for outdoor activities.

Beyond its role as a water reservoir, the basin serves as a refuge for birdwatchers who spot various species around its waters. The combination of clear water and undisturbed nature makes it a quiet retreat away from urban areas.
