Salakovac Lake is a tranquil reservoir created by a hydroelectric dam on the Neretva River, located near the village of Salakovac, about 10 kilometers north of Mostar. The lake stretches for several kilometers, with calm, emerald-green waters framed by forested hills and rocky cliffs. It's a popular local spot for recreation, offering a peaceful escape from the heat of the city. Visitors can swim in designated areas, fish from the banks, or simply relax by the water. The surrounding area is also good for short walks and birdwatching, with herons and kingfishers often seen along the shoreline.
Don't miss
- Swim in the clear, cool waters of the lake during the summer months.
- Fish for species like carp and pike from the lake's shores or a small boat.
- Enjoy a picnic with views of the surrounding hills and the Neretva River canyon.
