Gidrouzel on the Mozhaisk Reservoir

• Location: on the shore of the Mozhaisk Reservoir.
• Sports: training and football matches at the “Gidrouzel” sports complex.
• Football field: 102 × 62 meters, natural grass.
• Reservoir: artificial; created between 1960 and 1962 during construction of a water management complex on the Moskva River.

The Mozhaisk Reservoir is an artificial body of water. It was created between 1960 and 1962 during construction of a water management complex on the Moskva River, which included the Mozhaisk Hydroelectric Power Plant and a dam. This connects the lakeshore landscape with a history of infrastructure that can be dated precisely.

The reservoir is also known colloquially as the “Mozhaisk Sea.” In the wider travel region, it is considered a destination for active recreation and beach holidays. For planning your trip, two scales are therefore relevant: Gidrouzel’s specific location on the shore and the reservoir’s broader landscape and recreation context.

The “Gidrouzel” sports complex offers opportunities for training and football matches. Its football field measures 102 × 62 meters and has a natural grass surface. This gives a clear picture of the stated uses as well as the field’s dimensions and surface.

Specific events and availability may vary. If your trip depends on a particular match or training session, check in advance what is offered during your travel dates.

A tourism article published in 2020 mentions summer fishing at the Mozhaisk Reservoir, as well as the option to rent a boat and fishing equipment. This seasonal activity is part of the reservoir’s regional context, alongside the facilities of the sports complex in Gidrouzel. If you plan to go fishing, check the current availability of these options in advance. The distinction for your travel dates is clear: fishing is mentioned as a summer activity, while specific sports events and availability may vary. Fishing is thus limited to the season mentioned, while a particular match or training session depends on what is offered. This allows you to consider the seasonal note and event planning separately.

Consider which feature matters more for the purpose of your trip.
