Starina reservoir, Drinking water reservoir in Stakčín, Slovakia
Located within Poloniny National Park, Starina Reservoir covers 240 hectares with a 50-meter-high water headbay in eastern Slovakia.
The construction period from 1981 to 1988 required the relocation of 3,463 residents from seven villages to establish this water infrastructure project.
The reservoir area connects to regional heritage through nearby landmarks like the Wooden Greek Catholic Church in Jalová and the Classicist Mansion in Snina.
The reservoir supplies drinking water to eastern Slovakia through a 130-kilometer pipeline system that extends to the city of Košice.
As the largest drinking water reservoir in Central Europe, Starina maintains strict protection measures that prohibit swimming, water sports, and bank access.
