Tips
From Sofia, leave the Sofia–Karlovo–Burgas road on the right just after Pirdop. From Karlovo, turn towards the village of Anton, go straight through its centre and continue to Dushantsi. The far end of the lake reaches close to Koprivshtitsa railway station, and a granite memorial of 1956 stands near the Lazhenski bridge, about 15 km from Koprivshtitsa.
The shores are used for outings, picnics, water sports and fishing, in clean mountain air. Swimming in the reservoir is strictly prohibited.
