Štiavnické jazero

-

<Š> Štiavnické jazero (artificial lake) in the Szczawnica Mountains in Slovakia, close to the Vyhniny Potok Valley, about 1 km northwest of the Červená Studňa Pass and about 5 km northwest of Banská Štiavnica. / p>

It was built between 1743 and 1745 by the efforts of the Banská Štiavnica Mining Chamber, designed by the eminent engineer of that time, Samuel Mikovini. The surface of the reservoir is 5.72 hectares, the maximum depth of 22.3 meters and the volume of about 960 thousand. m³. The water mirror is 705 m above sea level. Up until the construction of the Meurad dam in France in 1855, Rozgrund, with a dam 30.2 m high, was considered to be the boldest work of water engineering in the world.

Water brings to the lake two aggregate channels of the total length of 2030 m. The water from the reservoir was driven to the crushing of the ore in Vyhniach.

From the beginning of the 20th century, the lake serves as a reservoir for drinking water for Banska Szczawnica and is therefore not used for recreational purposes. The water from it is pumped into the Červená studňa pass, from where it gravitates to the waterfall situated on the other side of the pass, at a height of 710 m n.p.m., a small water reservoir (Vodárenská vodná nádrž) with a capacity of 34 thousand. m³. This reservoir was also created for the needs of local mining companies, and in the 18th century served as Banská Štiavnica as a reservoir for water in case of fire. Bibliography
