Koupaliště Na Stanoch
A water area designated for summer recreation and sports activities in the natural environment of the Beskydy mountains.
The Přírodní koupaliště Na Stanoch natural swimming pool, also known as Kačák, is located in the village of Nový Hrozenkov in the Vsetín district. This reservoir was created following gravel-sand extraction and today serves as a significant recreational centre in the valley of the Vsetínská Bečva river. The location is characterised by crystal-clear water and the scenery of the surrounding mountains of the Chráněná krajinná oblast Beskydy. For every visitor, this complex represents a functional combination of natural swimming and modern sports facilities. During the summer season, the area is a popular destination for both local residents and tourists visiting the region.
What can you find here?
The complex offers extensive grassy and pebbled beaches that line the shores of the reservoir with gradual entry into the water. A unique feature is the Acrobat Park, which is used for training and exhibitions of ski and snowboard jumps into the water. The sports facilities are complemented by a beach volleyball court, areas for foot tennis, and a children's playground with play elements. Visitors may utilise the services of a sports equipment rental shop, which offers paddleboards and other gear. Dining is provided by several refreshment stalls and a restaurant with outdoor seating. Modernised sanitary facilities, showers, and changing rooms are also part of the complex.

Thanks to the clean water and play zones, the location is ideal for families with children. The complex is regularly visited by athletes and adrenaline lovers, especially due to the facilities for acrobatic jumps.
