View of Blue Lake (Modro Jezero)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Blue Lake, or Modro Jezero, in Imotski is a stunning natural wonder renowned for its striking azure waters and dramatic surrounding landscape. Nestled within a deep karst sinkhole, the lake captivates visitors with its vibrant blue hue, which shifts in intensity depending on the sunlight and the season.

The lake is framed by steep cliffs, creating a breathtaking contrast between the vibrant water and the rugged limestone walls. Surrounded by lush greenery and wildflowers, the area is a haven for nature lovers and hikers, offering numerous trails that provide stunning views of the lake from various vantage points.

In the warmer months, the lake's water level can fluctuate significantly, revealing sandy beaches at its edges and inviting locals and visitors alike to enjoy its beauty. The calm surface often reflects the sky, enhancing the lake's ethereal quality.

Gray Lake (Suho Jezero)

Highlight • Lake

This is a dry karst lake - unlike the Blue and the Red Lake very close, whose water depth reaches over 200m.

View of the Blue Lake (Modro Jezero)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view of the blue lake, and above all, it's free 😅, no rip-offs 👍🏻.

If you want to go directly down to the lake (for a swim), you'll be charged (€5.50 adult/€2.50 child) 🫣. Actually, it's not necessary 😃.

Blue Lake (Modro Jezero)

Highlight • Lake

An impressive crater with a lake at its base. A path leads down to the water.

Swimming is supposedly possible in the lake, but we didn't because of an approaching thunderstorm.

Entry costs 40 Kuna and includes the Blue Lake, the Red Lake, and the Topana Fortress; it's valid for several days.

Topana Fortress, Imotski

Highlight • Castle

The ruins of Topana Fortress by the blue lake are definitely worth seeing.

We didn't have to pay anything.
