Beli Lom, Stausee in Bulgarien
Beli Lom is a reservoir in Razgrad region, Bulgaria, that collects water from the Beli Lom River and spans a large body of water. The dam lies between the villages of Krojach, Manastirzi and Studenez and is home to various fish species including carp, catfish and pike.
The reservoir was constructed in 1963 and became part of Bulgaria's water management infrastructure for the region. Built during a period of major water engineering projects, it was designed to secure agricultural irrigation and water supply for surrounding communities.
The reservoir serves as a gathering place where local communities come together for fishing, relaxation, and leisurely walks along the water's edge. The quiet way of life here reflects a connection to the land and water that has remained central to the region for generations.
The reservoir is accessible via paths from the surrounding villages and offers walking routes along the shoreline. Broad access routes to the water are provided, with certain areas reserved for specific activities such as fishing.
The reservoir freezes over in winter months, transforming the landscape in unexpected ways that create a different experience depending on the season. This seasonal shift offers visitors a chance to witness how the water changes appearance dramatically throughout the year.
