Pliva Lakes, Natural lakes in Jajce Municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Pliva Lakes system consists of two bodies of water, Veliko and Malo Pliva, extending over three kilometers through limestone formations.
The lakes gained international recognition in 1963 when the Large Pliva Lake hosted the seventh European and World Championship in kayaking and canoeing.
Between the Small and Large Pliva Lake stands a collection of 24 traditional watermills, representing centuries of agricultural practices in the region.
Visitors can participate in swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing activities, with water temperatures reaching 21 degrees Celsius during summer months.
The lakes formed naturally through complex tectonic movements and tufa barriers, making them the largest natural water accumulation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
