Loshitsa Reservoir

Loshitsa Reservoir in Minsk is a picturesque body of water created in 1985 on the river of the same name, which flows through the Kurasovshchina district. The reservoir stretches for 1.4 kilometers and covers an area of 20.6 hectares, with an average depth of 2.4 meters. Initially created to supply water to an industrial area, it has since become a popular spot for recreation and fishing. The reservoir is surrounded by the natural Kurasovshchina Park, which provides ideal conditions for walks, jogging, and relaxing outdoors. Nearby, you can find “Belaya Dacha”, Dubki Park, and an ecological trail, making it a favorite spot for nature enthusiasts. Close by is the ski complex “Sunny Valley,” which makes the area popular not only in summer but also in winter. Although swimming is prohibited due to the water's use for technical purposes, Loshitsa Reservoir remains a favored location for fishing. You can catch silver crucian carp, roach, rudd, perch, bleak, and occasionally carp, pike, or Canadian catfish. This spot is perfect for those who enjoy combining fishing with active outdoor leisure. With its scenic surroundings and diverse opportunities for sports and relaxation, Loshitsa Reservoir attracts both residents and visitors to Minsk year-round.
