Morské oko, Natural lake in Vihorlat Mountains, Slovakia.
The lake stretches across 13 hectares with a maximum depth of 25 meters, featuring sandy western shores and rocky eastern coastlines.
First documented on maps in 1687 as Blatné jazero, the lake received its current name Morské oko, meaning Sea Eye, in the twentieth century.
The lake sits within protected beech forests that earned UNESCO World Heritage status in 2007, representing natural Slovak heritage.
Visitors can access the lake through a one-kilometer path from the parking area, with designated walking trails circling the water body.
The mansion near the lake, built in 1924 by Countess Gladys Vanderbilt Széchenyi, now functions as accommodation for group gatherings.
