Kysuce, dams and Lakes

The Nová Bystrica reservoir is located in northwestern Slovakia in the district of Čadca, in the area of Kysúc in the Žilina Region. It was built in the years 1983 - 1989 on the river Bystrica below the confluence of the river Harvelka and Riečnický stream. The construction of the dam created a large water reservoir for the surrounding region. There is a sidewalk on the dam of Nová Bystrica, from which there is a nice view of the water reservoir .. The surrounding picturesque nature with adjacent forests is very attractive for tourists.
