About this landmark
Blidinje Lake is the largest mountain lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina and a protected geomorphological natural monument that gave Blidinje Nature Park its name. It lies on Dugo Polje at around 1,183 metres above sea level, between the mighty mountains of Čvrsnica and Vran. Its surface varies from 2.5 to 6 km², while its greatest depth rarely exceeds a few metres – and thanks to that the water warms quickly in summer and is good for swimming.
As it has no permanent surface streams, the lake changes its appearance from season to season: in spring, after the snow melts, it is at its largest, while in summer the level drops considerably. In winter the surface usually freezes and the whole area takes on an unreal white look. The lake can be reached by car almost to the shore, and around it are meadows, mountain houses and restaurants – ideal for a picnic and an escape from the summer heat.
