Lake Orešje
We have been told this is a man made recreational lake. In the tourist map it says "The lakeshore is ideal for walking or bike ride, the coast is about 4 km long, the area covering 39 hectares in the protected area surrounding the Strmec reservoir."

Many birds hang out here, besides the common types like ducks, swains, woodpeckers & songbirds, we have seen beautiful herons & cranes, and it’s not uncommon to see pheasant run across our path.

| Orešje Lake, Bestovje Croatia - (T) July, (M) September, (B) October 2013 I probably shouldn’t admit this, but on our first trip here, in July when we walked to this lake ... I did - I snickered. I know you are thinking, WHAT! These pictures are beautiful! (not bad for an iPhone.) But a lake? We all know Shakespeare’s play 'Romeo and Juliet' - in it Juliet argues that the names of things do not matter, only what things "are". By definition it does seem shallow and a bit small to be called a lake, a better name might be wetlands or even pond? (I checked in Wikipedia*) I live here now and this is in my neighborhood, I walk there quite a lot, have gotten to know it and it has a charm all it’s own, so to quote Juliet "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
Slow down and take a walk,
Christine

*Wikipedia - a few definitions...lakes, pond, wetlands, you will need to decide for yourself.
