Bebresh Reservoir, Stausee in Bulgarien
Bebresh Reservoir is a large water body built in 1987 on the Bebresh River, serving water supply needs for Botevgrad and irrigation for farming in the region. The earthen dam stands approximately 48 feet (15 meters) high and stretches 408 feet (124 meters) in length, holding about 15 million cubic meters of water.
The reservoir was constructed in 1987 to secure water supply and irrigation for the development of the Botevgrad region. Since its completion, it has remained a steady component of local infrastructure supporting the community's needs.
The reservoir serves as a vital water source for the local community and supports daily life in Botevgrad through household and agricultural supplies. Its shores have become a natural gathering place where residents come to fish, relax, and spend time with family away from the bustle of town.
The reservoir is located about 6 miles (10 kilometers) from Botevgrad and is accessible by car on well-maintained roads leading from town. The best time to visit is during spring through fall when weather is warmer and more stable for outdoor activities.
The reservoir is home to several fish species including perch, roach, pike, and carp, making it a popular destination for anglers who come throughout the year. Many visitors overlook how dramatically the landscape changes with seasons, turning into a quiet, sometimes snow-covered scene in winter that few experience.
