Predmier – bagroviská
Five gravel pits at Predmier near Bytča, mainly bathing lakes; divers found only two of them worth diving (the darker ones on the map, not those along the motorway). The deepest point found was 4.5 m. The water is full of aquatic plant growth hiding some life – one pike and many small fish on the test dive – and in summer it is warm enough for a shorty.
