Blue Lake, Karst lake in Imotski, Croatia.
The lake occupies a deep limestone sinkhole reaching 220 meters from the upper rim to the bottom, with water depths varying throughout seasons.
Following an earthquake in 1942, the lake underwent physical changes when a substantial rockfall decreased its overall depth.
During periods when the lake dries completely, local teams named Vilenjaci and Vukodlaci organize football matches on the exposed lake bed.
Visitors can access the lake through a constructed path that leads down the crater, allowing for swimming during high water periods.
The water level fluctuates between 90 meters in spring to completely dry in late summer, transforming the basin into a natural stadium.
