Osredek pri Zrečah


Osredek pri Zrečah is a small settlement immediately west of the town of Zreče in northeastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the Municipality of Zreče in the Savinja Statistical Region.

History

Osredek was a hamlet of Križevec until 1994, when it was administratively separated and became a village in its own right named Osredek. In 1998, it was renamed Osredek pri Zrečah.

Lake Zreče

Lake Zreče lies within the territory of the settlement. Lake Zreče is a reservoir that was created in 2000 by damming Koprivnica Creek, a right tributary of the Dravinja River. The reservoir has two parts; the lower part of the reservoir is 700 m long with an area of 13,500 m², and the upper part is 300 m long with an area of 2,500 m². The upper part is used as a spawning ground. The reservoir is 8 m deep at its deepest point.
