Orešje Lake

In addition to fishing, Orešje Lake is ideal for a family walk or bicycle ride (lakeshore about 4 km long). The Sloga Orešje sports fishing society manages Orešje Lake, with its total area of 39 hectares, situated within the water protection zone of the Strmec water supply area.

The lake is inhabited by many freshwater cyprinid fish species, dominated by carp, grass carp, pike, pike-perch and catfish. All fish caught over 5 kg must be released back into the lake. The lakes and fishermen are supervised by the fishing guide service, and by internal control of the society.

The largest specimens ever caught here were: catfish 104 kg, carp 22 kg, pike 15 kg, pike-perch 11 kg, grass carp 18 kg. The lake is also home to swans and a number of wetland bird species. The lakeshore is ideal for family walks or bike rides (lakeshore path about 4 km long).
