Description
The fish pond is actually a hatchery, where people can catch fish for a small fee. There is a restaurant/cafe with a terras next to the first fish pond. This used to be a great spot to observe ribji orel. On good days every 5-10 minutes a ribji orel arrived and caught a fish, sometimes at only 20 meters distance! However, due to new management and the introduction of more commercially interesting fish that cannot easily be caught by ribji orel, the visits of these beautiful birds to this fish pond unfortunately have decreased drastically.
Most of the fish farm is off limits, but you are allowed to walk around the first two ponds. Breeding birds contain rjavovrati ponirek, tatarska žvižgavka and plašica. Other frequent visitors are rjavi lunj, belorepec, rjavi škarnik, črni škarnik and siva vrana.

Access
Park your car at the parking of the restaurant. The restaurant owners were very friendly for birders, but it is probably best to order some drinks when you sit on their terras. Walking around the ponds is no problem.
The terrain is closed to public by a fence outside opening hours of the restaurant. The gate is now only open from 09:00 to 15:00.
