Ptuj Lake

Today we went as a family by bike around Ptuj Lake. Path suitable for everyone by bike or on foot.
More in the web description: "Ptuj Lake is Slovenia's largest permanent lake with 346 hectares of surface area. It was created in 1978 by damming the Drava River below Ptuj and serves as an accumulation for the Formin hydroelectric power plant. Before damming, the last colony of common terns nested here on a natural site in Slovenia, today terns nest on four artificially made islands on the lake. Around the entire lake, a 12.5 kilometer long embankment has been built with a maintained gravel walking and cycling path. The lake consists of an open water surface divided into several sections. The section adjacent to the southern embankment is dedicated to nature conservation, especially for nesting birds here, while the other sections are used for water sports only in summer."

Thanks. The part of Ptuj above the Drava is really nice to look at.
Around 3 hours.
