Bendő (Pataš)
Two lakes in the fields near Pataš, south of Dunajská Streda; the first one on the right is the interesting one, the second is dirty. The uneven bottom is gravel with sediment and green growth, with steel barrels in several places; one side by the bathing beach is a 2 m shelf about 10–15 m wide, and towards the middle the bottom drops to 8–12 m. There are not many fish, but you can see carp (including orange koi), perch, chub, pumpkinseed and tench, mostly in the reeds that cover half the shore.
