I visited the Pirk Dam. It was a small parking lot in the forest. After climbing a few steps, you could enjoy a beautiful view of the dam. Once past the dam, you could also read some interesting facts about the dam. After a short walk, you could easily return to the parking lot below the dam.

A beautiful dam with a variety of recreational activities on its waters, including rowing and stand-up paddleboarding. The water is usually calm and the temperature is very pleasant for swimming. A trip to the dam wall is also recommended.
