Zaovine Lake, Reservoir in Tara National Park, Serbia.

Located at an elevation of 892 meters, Zaovine Lake extends across 15 square kilometers with five bays reaching depths of 110 meters.

Between 1975 and 1983, engineers constructed the lake by building a 125-meter dam across the Beli Rzav river to create a hydroelectric reservoir.

The lake holds significance in Serbian folklore through the Prophecy from Kremna, which mentioned the formation of water bodies in this region.

The water quality of Zaovine Lake requires minimal treatment for drinking purposes, making it a valuable resource for local communities.

Solar power station Brana Lazići operates near the reservoir, combining renewable energy production with water management systems.
