The Beli Lom reservoir is a large lake of about 3.5 km² on the upper Beli Lom in Razgrad Province, among the villages of Kroyach, Manastirtsi and Studenets, in the Razgrad Heights. Built in 1963, it stores water for the farmland around it.
How it formed
The river rises in the Razgrad Heights and flows east-south-east as far as the reservoir, then turns north-west through Razgrad and Senovo on its way to the Rusenski Lom and the Danube. It is fed by rain and snow, with high water from March to June.

Tips
It is one of the large state reservoirs open to amateur anglers, known for big grass carp and carp, along with catfish, silver carp, rudd, perch and others. The areas around the western and southern inflows are marked as breeding grounds, the dam wall and the water beside it are off limits, and parts of the northern and eastern shores have been leased, so check the rules locally before fishing.
The western shore is reached from the village of Mirovets, and there is no drinking water along the shore. The lake has no tourist facilities to speak of, so bring what you need.
