Šoderica, Artificial lake in Drenje and Legrad, Croatia.
Lake Šoderica covers several hectares in northern Croatia, formed through gravel extraction and fed by underground waters from the nearby Drava River at an elevation of 128 meters above sea level.
Established in 1869 following a concession granted by the Rašinja nobleman Inkey, this artificial lake resulted from gravel mining operations that continued for several decades in the region.
The site hosts the annual 'Summer at Šoderica' program featuring concerts, photography exhibitions, beach volleyball tournaments, and ecological workshops designed for visitors of all ages and interests.
Visitors can access developed beaches, walking trails, picnic areas, and sports facilities, with safety services and lifeguards available during peak summer months for swimming and water activities.
During winter months, the lake becomes a sanctuary for numerous swans that attract birdwatchers and families who come to observe these elegant birds in their natural habitat.
