Jezero Mir, Saltwater lake in Sali, Croatia.
Friedens-See is a saltwater lake on Dugi Otok island connected to the sea through porous limestone. The water maintains warm temperatures year-round and features therapeutic mud deposits on its bottom.
The lake formed naturally over many centuries through geological processes. The surrounding fishing community has maintained its traditions since ancient times.
Local residents use this saltwater lake for traditional healing and bathing, viewing it as an important wellness destination. The warm waters have attracted people seeking natural therapeutic experiences for generations.
You can reach the lake by ferry from Zadar to Sali, which takes roughly one hour. Bring water shoes or sandals since the bottom and shore are rocky and covered with pebbles.
Seawater continuously flows through underground limestone to refresh the lake naturally. This constant circulation keeps the therapeutic mud and water properties effective year after year.
