Description   

Approximately in 1910 a local called Gašperčkov Jože started digging clay on his premises. After a while he was joined by two of his friends, Jože Gašpirc and Jože Štempihar. They were digging the clay manually and formed it into bricks. They worked this way until the second world war when they stopped. After the war, in 1945 approximately, the kiln, the drying machines and the building itself were reworked. Various machines were built and the digging of clay and brick-making was restored. The activity was discontinued around 1980, while the building is still there.

Soon, water accumulated in the holes where the clay had been digged. Two larger ponds were formed and now they are used for fishing. If the winter is cold enough, the ponds are suitable for skating. Between the big ponds there is a smaller one with water-lilies. At the time of placing the cache the water-lilies are in full bloom.

There are pathways and little places around the ponds. There are only some benches beside the upper pond, beside a hut. Please park at the marked parking-place.
I wish you a pleasant time in nature.
