The Lake of Murska Sobota has been divided from old between its attractive water blueness, that made the embankment of the lake crowded every hot day, and the prohibition of bathing.
The space directly by the town-entering road between the motorway and Murska Sobota along the Bakovci Road is defined in the space arrangement plan that set up the main lines of use as well as of the environmental protection.
The new cuts in the space have given an ideal spatial patch for the purposes of recreational programmes between the motorway in the south and the lake in the north.
