About this landmark

Jezero Bistarac

Bistarac Lake, located just two kilometers from Lukavac along the old road to Tuzla, is considered one of the brightest tourist gems of the Tuzla Canton. What sets Bistarac apart from other lakes is its rare natural self-purifying quality, which ensures exceptionally clean water, ideal for swimming, water sports, and excellent fishing. Because of its slightly higher altitude, visitors are always greeted by a refreshing breeze here, which, together with the many sunny hours, makes the water and air temperature perfect for a summer holiday.

For anglers, Bistarac is a true little paradise. The lake is regularly stocked, and its depths hide trophy specimens of carp, catfish, grass carp, and pike-perch, while trout has adapted surprisingly well to the specific conditions of this water. Thanks to its well-kept shores and rich fish stock, sport fishing competitions are held here throughout the year, attracting competitors and nature lovers from all over the country. Whether you are looking for a peaceful oasis for a family weekend or an active sporting experience, Bistarac offers an authentic blend of natural purity and hospitality.
