Lacuri și rezervoare în Liptov

Lakes and Reservoirs

The Liptov region features a striking contrast between massive engineering projects and delicate alpine ecosystems. The Liptovská Mara and Bešeňová reservoirs manage the Váh river's flow, while the Čierny Váh pumped-storage plant represents a significant technical monument with its upper reservoir at 1,160 meters. In the higher elevations of the Western Tatras, glacial activity formed numerous tarns, including the Roháčske and Jamnícke lakes. The area also preserves unique wetlands like the Rojkovské rašelinisko travertine peat bog.
