Description
Sloka Lake is about 3 km long and 1.3 km wide, but only around 1.1 m deep, giving it a dark, reflective character typical of bog‑fringed waters. Sloka Lake is made attractive by an observation tower on pontoons and an adjacent boardwalk circular route of 3.1 km along the lake shore, and through black alder bogs and other habitats. Birds you can observe include labuť velká, potápka roháč, moták pochop, bukač velký, strakapoud bělohřbetý, strakapoud malý, datlík tříprstý, hohol severní, budníček lesní, volavka bílá, jeřáb popelavý, kukačka obecná and rybák obecný.
