Description

Unfortunately the reservoir is built quite clean and has neither inviting shore or reed areas, nor mudflats or wet forest. The very south part of the lake is a protected area and offers a hide with a good view on the water surface. Also the whole lake is just next to a quite loud road.

But during winter or spring migration you can find rather rare birds here such as morčák velký.

Access

There is a car park right next to the lake. A footwalk leads in a loop around the lake, that is in good shape and can be tread by feet or wheelchair. The short path to the hide is quite muddy.
