Starotrški pond

Starotrški pond is located near the village of Stari trg ob Kolpi. It is part of the Landscape Park Kolpa in the municipality of Črnomelj. The pond is a protected area and is an important habitat for many animal and floral species. The water level can vary during seasons and can rise significantly during heavy rainfall. During the dry season, the water level can drop substantially; this is because the pond is supplied only with surface water. Next to the pond, there is a large Tilia tree measuring 166 cm in circumference and over 16 meters in height. This tree is protected as a natural heritage location. You can freely walk around the pond. There are fish in the pond as well as water lilies and other water-based grasses. The local population maintains the area.
