Liptovská Mara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liptovská Mara is a reservoir in northern Slovakia, on the Váh river near Liptovský Mikuláš.
It was built in 1965-1975. The area of the reservoir is 22 km², max. depth is 45 m and the capacity is 360 mil. m³. During construction, 9 villages had to be inundated and a major railway and road relocated. The main purpose of this dam is prevention from floods, although it also generates electricity.
The reconstructed Celtic oppidum Havránok is situated on a hill above the dam.
