About this landmark

Modrac Lake

Lake Modrac, a jewel created in 1964 by the construction of a dam on the Spreča River, is one of the most impressive artificial reservoirs in southeastern Europe. Spanning as much as 17 square kilometers, this “continental sea” is located at an ideal road junction, easily accessible to travelers coming from Sarajevo, Tuzla, Doboj, as well as those arriving via the Orašje border crossing. With a length of 11 kilometers and depths reaching up to 20 meters, Modrac is a vast expanse into which the Spreča and Turija rivers flow, creating a dynamic ecosystem and a breathtaking landscape.

For nature lovers and active holidaymakers, Modrac is a true paradise, and it stands out especially as one of the most attractive fishing destinations in the region. Its shoreline is exceptionally gentle and accessible, allowing visitors to drive almost right to the water’s edge and find the perfect spot for fishing or a picnic. The varied lakebed, from earthy to rocky sections near the dam and the settlement of Bokavići, hides a rich fish stock, while the old river channels in the middle of the lake present a real challenge for those exploring the depths. With a modern selection of representative hotels, restaurants, and service facilities lining their terraces along the shore, Modrac Lake successfully combines the wildness of nature with the comfort of modern tourism, offering an unforgettable experience of отдых on the water.
