What does the gravel pit lake offer anglers?
The more than 30 purpose-built fishing spots are made of gravel and adapted to the terrain. Where there are differences in elevation between the bank slope and a fishing spot, steps have been added. The facilities highlight two specific features of the lake: the number of fishing spots and how they are adapted to the terrain.
Facilities for breaks by the water are also mentioned. Wooden seating areas with tables and benches, as well as individual benches, can be found along the shore and on the peninsula. There are also fire pits and waste bins. If you are planning to use a particular facility during your visit, check its condition in advance.
Which local landmarks can you discover?
The Püspöki harangláb, the bell tower of Püspökmolnári, stands at the corner of Petőfi Sándor utca and Dózsa György utca. The Szenttamási harangláb is beside the prayer house of the Püspökmolnári Lutheran branch congregation. The two locations therefore offer different points of reference: a street corner and a prayer house.
On the edge of the village, the Százéves hársfa is now an important landmark. The tree’s actual age is uncertain. A path beside the linden leads to Pápai-öntés, which is used as a beach, and to the Molnári anglers’ huts. The lake and the local landmarks thus offer different points of reference for planning a trip: the fishing spots are a focus if you are interested in fishing, while the bell towers and the linden provide specific connections to the local landscape.
