V plitvi dolinici pod Pivolo so bili nekdaj ribniki hompoškega gradu, danes pa je to zavarovan zoološki naravni spomenik Pivola – ribniki, ki se nahajajo na 307 m nadmorske višine. Dostopni so peš, s kolesom, z gorskim kolesom ali z avtom. V glavnem križišču v Hočah zavijete proti Pohorju in takoj za cerkvijo zavijete desno. Nato pot nadaljujete proti Pohorskemu dvoru, kjer vas na začetku drevoreda čaka parkirišče. Če vas je volja, se lahko sprehodite po levi strani ob drevoredu, dokler ne pridete do makedamske ceste na koncu drevoreda. Makadamska pot vas pripelje do ribnika, ki je najprej skrit za ograjo, a brez skrbi - pot do njega je normalno dostopna malo dalje, preskočiti boste morali le par decimetrov širok pas vode (če je deževno). Če tega ne storite in nadaljujete še malo naprej ter ponovno zavijete levo, pridete do naslednjega ribnika, ki je ves ograjen. V njem lahko vidite veliko pernatega življa, ki uživa nad vodo. Če boste iskali tretjega, se boste morali potruditi, saj je skrit in zaraščen - ni pa nič kaj prijetnega videza.
In the shallow valley below Pivola there used to be ponds of the Hompok castle, but today it is a protected zoological natural monument Pivola - ponds located at 307 m above sea level. They are accessible on foot, by bike, by mountain bike or by car. At the main crossroads in Hoče, turn towards Pohorje and immediately after the church, turn right. Then continue towards Pohorski dvor, where a parking lot awaits you at the beginning of the tree-lined avenue. If you feel like it, you can walk to the left along the tree-lined avenue until you reach the gravel road at the end of the tree-lined avenue. The macadam path leads you to the pond, which is first hidden behind a fence, but don't worry - the path to it is normally accessible a little further, you will only have to skip a few decimeters wide strip of water (if it is rainy). If you don’t and continue a little further and turn left again, you come to the next pond, which is all fenced off. In it you can see a lot of feathered life enjoying the water. If you are looking for a third one, you will have to make an effort, as it is hidden and overgrown - but there is nothing pleasant about it.
Po svoji funkciji je bil ribnik prvotno namenjen namakanju sadovnjakov. Ker presega te kapacitete, je nastal lep in prijeten ribolovni objekt. Lahka dostopnost in vedno svež zrak mu dajeta še posebni čar. Ribnik je napajan iz pohorskega potoka, bogato naseljen s krapi in ščukami, veliko pa je tudi rdečeok in zelenik. Na trnek se z veliko sreče ujame tudi kot krap velika zlata ribica.
According to its function, the pond was originally intended for irrigating orchards. Because it exceeds these capacities, a beautiful and pleasant fishing facility has been created. Easy accessibility and always fresh air give it a special charm. The pond is fed from the Pohorje stream, richly populated with carp and pike, and there are also many red-eyed and green. Luckily, the big goldfish is also caught on the hook as a carp.
