Jezero Sabljaki, Stausee in Kroatien
Jezero Sabljaki is a large reservoir near Ogulin in Croatia, created in the 1950s as part of a hydroelectric power system. The water stretches across a broad area about 360 meters above sea level, with a shoreline that curves gently for around six kilometers.
The reservoir was built in the 1950s as part of a hydroelectric power station called Gojak, where water flows through tunnels to generate electricity. This engineering project transformed the landscape while also creating a place for recreation and water activities.
Locals often call the lake 'Ogulin's sea' because of how broad the water stretches across the landscape. This nickname reflects how the place has become part of the town's character and how residents think about their natural environment.
The reservoir is easy to reach from Ogulin and nearby towns, with camping sites and small hotels close by. The shallow waters at the edges are good for swimming, and boat rentals and small piers are available for water activities.
The lake is known for its many types of fish, especially large catfish and carp, attracting anglers from distant places. The quiet setting and clean water make fishing here a relaxing experience that stands out from typical fishing spots.
