Several crystal clear mountain springs flow into this glacial lake and an endemic salamander species is also found here.

There are katuni, wooden cabins which provide a resting place for shepherds, all along the shore of the lake and it's possible to spend the night in these lodgings, as they also offer traditional food and drinks.
The lake is a popular destination for mountain bikers and one can collect mushrooms, berries and medicinal herbs in the surrounding area.

Bosnia is one thing, and this place is something else entirely. They built a new, easy road to get there, even for small cars. The place is freezing cold, and the internet upstairs is very weak.
Beautiful nature, everything excellent. Recommendations
