How it formed
The Kneževo dam, a rock-fill dam about 75 m high, was built in the 2000s and 2010s with Japanese development funding, to end seasonal water shortages in the region. It supplies Kratovo, Probištip, Zletovo, Sveti Nikole, Lozovo, Karbinci and Štip.

Tips
This is a working drinking-water reservoir, not a resort, so ask in Kratovo or Probištip about access to the shore before you go, and do not count on swimming or fishing.
