MEDULIN POND

ISTRIADUCTION February | All Year | Free Entrance Medulin pond is a small lake inhabited by various animal and plant species. The first records of the pond date from 1563. It used to be connected to the sea by a canal, so the old Medulin people hunted eels in a pond. As things stand now the water is less than before and there is no mixing with the sea water, but even now the puddle can be up to 7 meters deep in the central part. With such a deep pond, it can be said that Medulin has a little "lake" atmosphere in addition to the sea. Today there are about 20 feathered animals, there are turtles in the pond that approach people who come nearby. and a pair of herons.An ideal place to let your brain graze and enjoy the oasis of nature.According to the data of Regional Express in this beautiful place we can thank Marin Saric who brought the animals from Slavonia.
