Mirkovska kosatcova luka
Located near the village of Mirkovce, this site is a protected wetland meadow. Visitors go here to see clusters of purple Siberian iris and other rare wetland flora. A narrow walking path allows access through the meadow, providing opportunities for birdwatching and nature photography.
Getting There
The meadow is situated outside the city of Prešov. From the city centre, it is accessible by car or local transport toward Mirkovce. The journey typically takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic.
Visit Duration
Because the site is a small nature reserve focused on a specific walking path, most visitors spend between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours exploring the area.
When to Visit
The best time to visit is during the spring, when the Siberian irises are in bloom. To avoid the midday sun and experience more birdsong, early morning is recommended. The site does not typically experience heavy crowds, though it is more popular during the peak flowering window.
