DUBĂSARI DAM

On the way to Dubăsari, we have stopped at a massive Tank Monument on a large hill overlooking the battlefields of WW2, with an old Soviet T-34 tank that was found in the Dniester River after the war. Then we made a little break at the hydroelectric dam at the Dniester river – The Dubăsari Dam – controlled by the Russian Army. It was built in 1951–1954. The installed capacity of the hydroelectric power station is 48 MW. The Dubăsari Dam creates the Dubăsari reservoir covering 67,5 square kilometers, with a length of 128 kilometers and an average width of 528 meters. Right beside it is a beautiful beach where locals sunbathe and we have enjoyed an ice cream.
