Access

It is quite easy to get to the pond by car or bike. The car can be parked next to the pond. Observations can be made from the dike surrounding the pond. There are two good points - the ramp and special hide (wall with observation windows in it). There are two small islands on the pond where racek chechtavý colonies are located.
