Water was discharged through large pipes into the nearby Rin\u017ea River.

The lake is suitable for swimming and offers other recreational opportunities such as boating, SUPing, sailing, and diving, and if winter is cold enough, ice skating as well. The surrounding area of the lake is rich in various species of plants and animals, while the lake is also a breeding ground for many bird species, many of which are also on the red list of endangered breeding grounds in Slovenia. Ornithologists have recorded nearly 70 types of nesting bird species so far.<\/p><p><strong>It appeals to me for its gentle birch\ntrees<\/strong><\/p><p>On the north side of the lake there a pine forest, which is a special natural habitat feature of Ko\u010devje.
