Fans of rowing or windsurfing will find the lake ideal for their sports. Many will be surprised that there is a complete facility for water ski in the bay Ratnovská during summer months.

Part of the reservoir is the artificial island made here for birds. It is the protected Nature Reserve. Rare species of birds nest here.
