You are not allowed to stay right next to the water, you can get as close as 15 meters with your car. The water looks very clear and is great for swimming. It is a pebble beach with a slope into the water a floating platform in the middle to rest on while swimming. There are some small fish in the water and some butterflies fly around. There are enough parking spots and it is quiet at night.
Really cool spot. In october there was nobody, but in the summer it would probably be busier. Still border police patrolling a lot, and just "chilling" around the spot. There is really cool old quarry with a fun walking path around it. Would be really nice and fun to swim (which is allowed at own risk). Secluded from the road but still really accessible. Thanks for putting on p4n.
The most beautiful place for swimming in Slovakia. A safe and quiet place to spend the night. Great snack bar. Recommended.
Quarry parking & swimming spot near Ukrainian border This free parking area is by a scenic flooded quarry, perfect for swimming in summer. There is a wooden gazebo, a trash bin, and a dry toilet on site. In summer, a refreshment stand operates. The parking is mostly flat and slightly away from the main road—safe for overnight stays. Because it’s near the Ukrainian border, a police patrol passes about 4 times a day, so it feels very secure. Rated 4 / 5 stars: simple, functional, and nice for a quick stay. Dog‑friendliness: Good space around for walks; you can let your dog explore near the water and under the gazebo. No strays observed—quiet and peaceful environment. Please help keep this place clean and respect nature and local people. ??
It was very crowded during the day. But we were also here on a Sunday. Right by the lake at the quarry. Wonderful for swimming. We spent a very quiet night here. Nobody minded that we were parked here.
Free parking. There were some cars passing by at night, otherwise a pretty quiet night
Great place , in east Slovakia . Swim / Hiking / Bar
Perfect! But without any facilities.
Great place to swim and relax, the water is very nice. There is covered picknicktable and two bins.
Very pretty and fairly quiet during the day at this time of year. A very quiet night for me. Several police cars came by.
