Hodruša Reservoir is one of the picturesque artificial lakes in the Tajchy system, built centuries ago for mining purposes. Today, it offers a peaceful retreat for visitors who come to swim in its clear waters, sunbathe on grassy banks, or enjoy a picnic with views of the surrounding wooded hills. The reservoir is a popular spot for families and nature lovers, providing a refreshing escape from the town's historic center. Walking trails around the lake allow for easy exploration of the area's natural beauty.
