The ultimate proof of a healthy, pristine environment in Ilirska Bistrica are its waters, which are full of life. The mysterious Reka river and the two lakes are literally brimming with fish. There are trophy zanders and pikes splashing over the rapids, giant catfish lurking in the deep, marble and rainbow trouts jumping and breaking the surface, and carps, barbels and chubs galore. A true fisherman's paradise!
