Lake Văliug, also called Breazova, is a small reservoir of about 12.6 ha on the Bârzava in the Semenic area of Caraș-Severin, up to 25 m deep, between Gozna upstream and Secu downstream.
How it formed
Its gravity arch dam, 27 m high and over 90 m long, was built in 1909 for electricity and water supply, and it is described as the oldest reservoir still in operation there, well past its design life.

Tips
The lake is popular in summer, with a bathing beach, boat trips and other water sports, and Văliug can get busy at weekends. The Semenic plateau is reached by a paved road from Reșița through Văliug, often snow-covered in winter, and June to August is the most pleasant time. The Gărâna jazz festival is held in summer in the commune. See the Semenic Lakes page for more.
