Olshany Reservoir

Among wooded mountains lay the pretty Olshansky reservoir. In the rays of the sun caressing his sparkling emerald waters. On the shore of the reservoir to spend summer days.

This reservoir was artificially created in 1956. Its creation was part of the project to build a hydroelectric power station. The length of the lake is 9 km and width reaches a kilometer. Olshansky reservoir depth does not exceed 10 meters. Reservoir fed by the waters of the river Tereblya, which in turn originates from the lake Sinevir .

In order to create a dam in Olshane had flooded several villages. People were warned in advance and provide a place in the new villages. Many do not fully believe that they need to leave their native land. Now in place of these villages lies Olshansky reservoir.

Today, this place has become a popular holiday destination with locals and tourists.
