Description
If you are in the Strkovecké Jazera area it is a very nice place to see a lot of birds in a relatively small area. If you look over the lake in the springtime, you will see waterbirds such as Широконоска, Хохлатая чернеть and Чомга. Also gulls are present like Серебристая чайка, Хохотунья and Озерная чайка even have a small colony on the small islands in the lake together with Речная крачка. Last but not least there are herons present like Кваква. In the green bushed areas around the lake you will see and hear lots of songbirds like Южный соловей, Пеночка-весничка, Мухоловка-пеструшка, Обыкновенный ремез, Обыкновенная кукушка and many more. Also some raptors can be seen such as Пустельга обыкновенная that breed in nestboxes present and Болотный лунь. The river banks of the Vah river are a nice quiet place and you'll probably see Красноголовый нырок and Обыкновенный зимородок.

Access
It is easily accessible both by bicycle and car and the location happens to be next to a parking place/ gas station of the highway. It is also possible to drive your car to the edge of the lake, which could be convenient for people in wheelchairs, who may not be able to trail around the lake but can use a fixed location at the edge of the lake and use a telescope. There are two or three trails on the north side of the lake. You may want to explore them all, as there are so many birds present, at least in the springtime. Also take a peek at the Vah river. A beautiful fast flowing river and the river banks are a nice place to take a break. The circular walk has a length of about 3,5 km.
