Lake Ptuj (Ptujsko jezero) is a man-made reservoir created by a hydroelectric dam on the Drava River, just west of Ptuj. The lake is a hub for outdoor recreation, offering opportunities for swimming, sailing, windsurfing, and kayaking. Its shores are lined with beaches, picnic areas, and walking trails. The lake is also a prime spot for fishing (pike, carp) and birdwatching, as it attracts numerous waterfowl. In summer, it becomes a lively destination for locals and tourists alike.
Don't miss
- Go swimming or sunbathing at the designated beaches along the lake's shore.
- Try windsurfing or sailing on the lake's calm waters.
- Spot migratory birds like herons and ducks from the birdwatching hides.
