Circular Island at Pirk Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The island appears to have been constructed and secured with shore stones. Signs are posted all around it, but they are unreadable from the shore.

It's actually nice for swimming but currently full of blue-green algae 🙃

Pirk Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

On the north bank of the dam, a path runs directly along the bank. This is a beautiful hiking route where you can enjoy great views of the dam.

Personally, the reservoir does not allow me. He is not dog friendly and seems very overweight. The bungalows are close together. Toddlers should not walk around outside without supervision, as there are no steep slopes other than a shield.

Pirk Forebay

Highlight • Structure

From here the path becomes a dirt track. The view of the water is obscured by trees. A little further you have a nice view again.

View of Pirk Bird Sanctuary Island

Highlight • Viewpoint

Everyone is always wondering where the swans went ?! Here are the swans and of course many other water creatures. In any case, we had a lot of fun watching the children of the family do the swimming exercises.
