Háziréti Reservoir is an artificial lake in Hungary, tucked at the border of Pilisvörösvár and Csobánka, best known as a paradise for anglers but equally pleasant for anyone wanting a peaceful walk beside open water. The lake sits in the northern part of the Solymár Valley, offering a quiet escape from the city.
Created by damming the Határ-réti-árok and Házi-réti-patak streams, the reservoir's surface fluctuates between 24.6 and 26 hectares depending on water levels, with a shoreline stretching roughly 7.2 kilometers. The lakebed is varied, with sudden drop-offs and shallow stretches, firm patches and muddy areas alike, reaching depths of up to 3.5 meters near the dam. The surrounding landscape blends shrubland and farmland, home to a rich variety of wildlife, including an impressive population of dragonflies.
How to get thereThe lake has produced some remarkable catches over the years - the record catfish weighed in at over 69 kg, while the record carp topped 23 kg, making it a genuine trophy-fishing destination.
