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.
