Nosice Reservoir

Nosice Reservoir is a large water body in the Púchov District of Slovakia that stretches along the Váh River. Its surface reflects the sky and surrounding forests, and the area is ringed by gentle hills, green fields, and several bridges including a railway crossing.

The reservoir was completed in 1957 as part of Slovakia's post-war industrial development. It was the first dam built on the Váh River and has operated a small hydroelectric power plant since completion, while managing water supply for nearby towns and industries.

The area is used by locals for fishing, boating, and walking, with activities shifting through the seasons. The landscape with its forests and shores is woven into daily life and offers spaces where people gather to relax and spend time together.

The best time to visit is during the day when weather is clear and light is good. The area has gravel paths, small parking zones, and seating areas that make it easy to access for families and visitors looking for a quiet place to relax.

A spring with healing mineral waters was accidentally discovered during dam construction near the reservoir, leading to the creation of Nimnica, Slovakia's newest spa. This unexpected find transformed the area into a wellness destination.
