Lake Orahovica

Lake Orahovica is an artificial reservoir created in 1961 at the foot of Mount Papuk, covering approximately 1.6 hectares with a maximum depth of 9 meters.

The lake was formed in 1961 through the construction of an artificial dam, making it a relatively young water body in the region with over six decades of history.

The lake serves as a venue for traditional Croatian events including wine festivals, cultural gatherings, and the annual Prvosvibanjski picnic that celebrates local customs and community spirit.

Visitors can access the lake via marked roads from Orahovica town center, with facilities including parking areas, camping zones, restaurant services, and equipment rental for water activities.

Despite being artificial, Lake Orahovica maintains its water level through natural springs from Mount Papuk, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that supports diverse aquatic life.
