Sninské rybníky

Sninské rybníky is a nature reserve with a biopool in Snina that offers three depth zones for swimming. The bathing area ranges from shallow sections for children to deeper zones reaching 3.5 meters (11 feet).

The site underwent major renovation in 2010, when three natural swimming pools were converted into an advanced biological water purification system. This transformation established a new model of sustainable bathing operations in the region.

The area hosts multiple summer festivals, including the Podvihorlatský Folk Festival and Rock pod Kameňom, which draw visitors from across the region. These events shape local life and bring communities together.

The recreation center offers seasonal camping facilities from mid-May through late September with direct access to hiking trails. The location makes it easy to explore the surrounding landscape between swimming sessions.

The pool uses natural water filtration through plants and algae, making it the second biological bathing facility in Slovakia. This system demonstrates how traditional bathing methods can work alongside modern ecological approaches.
