Veliko jezero

Veliko jezero, lake in Croatia

Veliko jezero is a lake in Lika-Senj County, Croatia, surrounded by forested banks and rocky limestone formations that rise from its shores. The water is clear and deep, creating a setting where visitors can see far into the water while taking in the natural landscape.

The lake formed through natural geological processes in the karst landscape and has been used by local communities over generations as a water source and resource. Its name reflects its size relative to other lakes in the region.

Access to the lake comes via forest paths and rural roads from nearby villages, reachable on foot or by vehicle depending on starting point. There is little tourist infrastructure here, so visitors should come prepared for a natural setting and check conditions before swimming or exploring.
