Liptovská Mara, Artificial reservoir in northern Slovakia.

The Liptovská Mara reservoir extends across 22 square kilometers between the High Tatras and Low Tatras mountain ranges, creating a substantial water body.

Built between 1965 and 1975, the reservoir's construction required the submersion of multiple villages, including Liptovská Sielnica, Paludza, and Liptovská Mara.

The archaeological site Havránok, situated above the reservoir, contains remains of Celtic settlements and medieval structures discovered during the dam's construction.

The reservoir serves multiple purposes, including flood control and hydroelectric power generation through four turbines with a total capacity of 200 megawatts.

The early Gothic church from the submerged village of Liptovská Mara now stands preserved in the Liptov open-air museum as a testament to the area's past.
