Great Pliva Lake is a serene artificial lake just outside Jajce, created by damming the Pliva River. Its calm, expansive waters are ideal for boating, fishing, and leisurely picnics along the shore. Surrounded by rolling green hills, the lake offers a peaceful escape with opportunities for swimming in designated areas. Visitors can rent small boats or simply stroll the lakeside paths, taking in the tranquil atmosphere and views of the distant mountains.
Don't miss
- Rent a rowboat or pedal boat to explore the lake's quiet coves.
- Fish for carp and pike in the well-stocked waters.
- Picnic on the grassy banks with views of the surrounding hills.
