Access
The reservoir is situated 4 kilometres south of the settlement Pragersko (which has very good train connections) and can be reached on foot (in 1 h) or by bicycle (in 15 min) with ease. At the beginning, we follow the signs for the international shooting range. At the crossroad by the regional landfill, we continue straight ahead, towards south. The asphalt road then leads us past meadows, forests and stream Polskava. We soon arrive to the next crossroad; here we turn to the side road and continue straight to the south. After about 400 metres, we gaze upon a bridge that stands before a sharp left turn. Before the bridge we take a left turn onto a dirt road, which leads us along a small channel and straight to the embankment of the reservoir.
