How did the Mozhaisk reservoir appear?
The Mozhaisk Reservoir was formed about 60 years ago for the construction of a new hydroelectric power station. To do this, it was gradually filled with water from the Moscow River and, at the end of 1962, it was completely filled.
The reservoir is located 100 kilometers west of the capital, in the Mozhaisk district of the Moscow Region. This is 35 hectares of clean water surface, clear water that you can drink.
The man-made lake is located in an ecologically clean place, surrounded by forests, so there is always fresh air here - an ideal place for a family vacation.
