JEZERO KOMARNIK
Akumulacijsko jezero Komarnik lezi priblizno dva kilometra zahodno od Lenarta, juzno od magistralne ceste Pernica Lenart. Prvic je omenjeno ze v 16. stoletju, ko so ga lastniki bliznjega gradu Hrastovec uporabljali za gojenje rib. V sestdesetih letih preteklega stoletja so ga preuredili v akumulacijo za zadrzevanje visokih voda in ga na zahodni strani obdali z visokovodnim nasipom. Povrsina jezera meri 26 hektarjev, povprecna globina na sredi pa znasa priblizno poldrugi meter. Na vzhodni strani ga obdaja gozd Crni les, na juzni in vzhodni strani pa travniki in intenzivno obdelovana polja. Po regulaciji reke Pesnice in unicujocih melioracijah v Pesniski dolini je postalo jezero Komarnik z okolico zadnje zatocisce in pomembno bivalisce mnogih ogrozenih rastlinskih in zivalskih vrst.
Za jezero je znacilna velika vrstna pestrost vodnih rastlin; od 19 vrst jih je 11 na Rdecem seznamu praprotnic in semenk Slovenije, omenjenih kot ranljive ali prizadete vrste, kot so npr. beli lokvanj, vodni oresek, scitolistna mocvirka in stevilne druge danes ogrozene rastline.
Raznovrstnost vodnih in mocvirskih bivalisc pogojuje zelo bogato favno vodnih nevretencarjev, kacjih pastirjev in dvozivk. Tukaj zivi veliko vrst vodnih in mocvirskih hroscev, na primer kozak in obrobljeni kozak, jezero pa je tudi edino najdisce nekaterih vrst vodnih hroscev v Sloveniji. Favna kacjih pastirjev steje kar 35 vrst, pri cemer velja med stevilnimi ogrozenimi vrstami omeniti losko zverco in zgodnjega trsnicarja, predvsem pa najvecjo srednjeevropsko populacijo nosne jezerke, ki je drugod po Evropi ze marsikje izginila. Tukaj zivi tudi mocno ogrozena medicinska pijavka.
V casu gnezditve in selitve je Komarnik pomembno gnezdisce in pocivalisce selivk. Pomladi in poleti lahko opazujemo malega in copastega ponirka, mlakarice, tu gnezdita copasta crnica in sivka, na selitvi pa lahko opazujemo se stevilne druge vrste rac, tukalic in pobreznikov. V trsticju ob jezeru gnezdijo capljica, rakar, mocvirska in bicja trstnica, na jezeru gnezdi labod grbec. V gozdu na vzhodni strani jezera gnezdita med drugimi vrstami tudi pivka in belovrati muhar.
Ob selitvi lahko tudi na okoliskih travnikih in njivah opazimo veliko vrst ptic.
V okolici Komarnika se ob vodotokih in ribnikih pojavlja vidra (Lutra lutra), pogosta pa je tudi pizmovka.
Priporoca se obisk od marca do julija in spet jeseni, od septembra do novembra. Predvsem poleti pa lahko brenceci roji upravicijo ime ribnika.
KOMARNIK (MOSQUITO LAKE)
Komarnik reservoir is situated about two kilometers west of Lenart, south of the main road Pernica-Lenart. First mentioned in the 16th century when the owners of the nearby castle Hrastovec used it for fish farming. In the sixties of the last century it was converted into the reservoir for the floodwater and is surrounded on the west side of the flood embankment. It comprises 26 acres, the average depth in the middle of it is around one and a half meter. On the east side surrounded by the woods Crni les (Black wood), on the southern and eastern side of the meadows and intensively cultivated fields. To regulate the river poets and destructive land reclamation in Pesnica Valley Mosquito Lake have become the last resort and an important residence for many endangered plant and animal species. The lake is characterized by high species diversity of aquatic plants, from 19 species, 11 of them are on the Red list of ferns and seed-bearing Slovenia, referred to as vulnerable or endangered species, such as. European white waterlily (Nymphea alba), Water chestnut (Trapa natans), Fringed water-lily (Nymphoides peltata) and many other endangered plants today.
The diversity of aquatic and wetland habitats makes a very rich fauna of aquatic invertebrates, dragonflies and amphibians. Here live many species of aquatic and marsh beetles, for example Water beetle (Graphoderus bilineatus) and Great diving beetle (Dytiscus marginalis), the lake is the only site of some species of water beetles in Slovenia. Dragonfly fauna as many as 35 species, and with the number of endangered species to mention Small Emerald Damselfly (Lestes virens) and Hairy Dragonfly (Brachytron pratense), especially the largest population of Eurasian Baskettail (Epitheca bimaculata), which has already disappeared in many places elsewhere in Europe. Here is also home to highly endangered European medicinal leech (Hirudo medicinalis).
During the nesting and migration Komarnik is an important nesting site and staging point of migratory birds. In spring and summer you can observe Little Grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis) and Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus), Mallard (Anas platyrhynchus), Tufted Duck (Aythya fukigula) and Pochard (Aythya ferina) breed here and on migration you can observe many other species of ducks, waders and rails. Reeds is a nesting habitat of Little Bittern (Ixobrychus minutus), Great Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus), Marsh Warbler (Acrocephalus palustris) and Sedge Warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus). On lake nests Mute Swan (Cygnus olor). In the woods on the east side of the lake, among other species breed among other birds Grey-headed Woodpecker (Picus canus) and Collared Flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) . During migration you can observe many other bird species on the surrounding meadows and fields.
On the streams and ponds in the vicinity of Komarnik you can spot European Otter (Lutra lutra), common species is also Muskrat (Ondarta zibethica). It is recommended to visit from March to July and again in autumn, from September to November. Especially in the summer humming swarms can justify the name of the pond.
