Sihoť
Sihoť is the largest river island on the Danube in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, located in the district of Karlova Ves. The island lies between the main flow of the Danube to the north and the parallel channel Karloveské rameno to the south, between Devínska cesta in Bratislava and the Austrian border. It contains a culturally protected water source supplying tap water to a large portion of Bratislava citizens, as well as numerous nearby villages.
Under communism, access to the island was restricted due to its proximity to the Austrian border and the only access bridge to the island was guarded by soldiers. Access to the island remained forbidden even after the end of communism and today, access is highly restricted. Since 15 May 2012, the island is a protected area and there is currently an initiative to declare the island a national park and connect it with the neighboring Danube-Auen National Park in Austria.
== History ==
In the past, Sihoť was called Käsmacherinsel in German and Syrársky ostrov in Slovak. The name is derived from the dwellings of peasants who processed milk. It was the largest Danube island in all of the Hungarian kingdom.
The area was inspected by Bernhard Salbach from Dresden in 1881–1882 and the island was found to be a good water source. Salbach also designed the system supplying drinking water to the historical center of the city, which remains operational until today.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.vodarenskemuzeum.sk/files/odborna-cinnost/bvs_tabule_1200x800_final_sihot_02.pdf )〕 Bratislava established its first waterworks in the 1880s, becoming one of the first cities in Europe to build a water supply system.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.muzeum.sk/default.php?obj=muzeum&ix=vodm )〕 The first pilot well was dug on Sihoť island in 1882 and it is preserved as a historical monument until today. After the properties of the water were confirmed to be sound, construction work was ceremonially launched. Besides the well, the first facilities of the waterworks included a pumping station at Karlova Ves and a reservoir at Somársky vrch. A regular supply of high-quality drinking water has been provided ever since. The main waterworks were built in 1885.
