Zlaté piesky
A lakeside recreation area northeast of the city, with a beach, campsites and water sports. It is the first choice for locals who want to swim and cool off in summer.
Zlaté piesky is a clear gravel lake. Along its shore are a paid sandy beach, water-skiing cable, boating and campsites, and there are also areas where you can swim freely. Summer weekends are crowded, and food and beer stalls line the lakeshore. Take tram 4 from the city center to the end of the line, about 25 minutes. Outside summer, people come here mostly to walk.
Opening hours
Summer beach approx. 09:00–19:00
