Sihoť, Protected river island in Bratislava IV, Slovakia.

The island spans 2.35 square kilometers between the main Danube flow and the Karloveské rameno channel near the Austrian border.

In 1882, water expert Bernhard Salbach identified the island as a water source and designed the supply system for Bratislava's historical center.

The German name Käsmacherinsel and Slovak name Syrársky ostrov reference the milk-processing farmers who operated on the island.

Access to the island requires crossing a guarded bridge, and entry permissions are limited due to the water infrastructure protection measures.

The water wells on the island supply drinking water to Bratislava through a system that dates back to the 1880s.
