Karanikola Lake

Karanikola Lake extends 590 meters in length and 115 meters in width, reaching a depth of 5.60 meters at an elevation of 2300 meters.

The lake formed through glacial processes during geological periods, creating a cirque formation within the mountain landscape of Šar Mountains.

Local shepherds from surrounding villages maintain traditional practices near the lake, influencing the water clarity through their livestock activities.

Visitors can reach the lake through multiple hiking paths from Village Veshala, with routes connecting to nearby peaks Karanikola and Skarpa.

The lake receives water exclusively from underwater springs clustered together, contributing to its dark blue and greenish water coloration.
