Ptuj lake

About

The largest Slovenian lake is at the same time also one of the most attractive ones, as over 230 bird species can be found nesting in the protected area around the water. These include rare and protected species, such as cormorants, common terns, and black-headed gulls, and birdwatchers from all over Europe migrate here to observe them. Swimming is forbidden.
