 | The ponds in Bobovek are protected as a natural reserve. While clay was being dug up here fish fossils and the remains of a mammoth where found that date back to the Ice Age as well as an urn burial ground dating from the Roman times. In the artificially formed biotope of the clay pits we can see ponds, pools and marshland, among which reeds stand out as being an extraordinarily heterogeneous habitat. Marsh plant species, numerous birds (marsh reed warbles, song birds, kingfishers and small Botaurus stellaris), insects, dragonflies and frogs, etc. have made their home here. Unfortunately, not all visitors realise the natural value of Bobovek, not even the owners that leave waste or fill up the ponds in other ways. Be better than them!
