Szinva

The damming of the streams Szinva and Garadna formed Lake Hámori in Miskolc-Lillafüred around 1770.

The highest waterfalls of the country (20 metres high) can be found on the Szinva nearby.

Before 1990, when Miskolc was a heavy industrial centre, the water of the stream was very polluted, mostly because of the paper factory of Diósgyőr.

The Szinvapark shopping mall – one of the largest in Miskolc – was built on the two sides of the stream; the buildings are connected by a bridge over the Szinva.

A newly constructed public square, the Szinva Terrace is also named after the stream.
