The lakes owe their existence to the Pliva River, which flows through the area and creates a series of cascades and waterfalls before settling into the tranquil lakes.
The emerald-green color of the lakes, combined with the surrounding verdant vegetation, creates a mesmerizing sight that captivates visitors.
The Large Pliva Lake covers a larger surface area and offers ample opportunities for various water-based activities.
Boating, kayaking, and canoeing are popular pastimes, allowing visitors to explore the lake’s calm waters and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.
Fishing is also a favored activity, as the lake is home to a diverse range of fish species, including trout, carp, and perch.
The Small Pliva Lake, located upstream from the large lake, is smaller in size but equally enchanting.
Between Large and Small Pliva Lakes are famous picturesque charming watermills, called Mlincici. This traditional wooden mill, serves as a symbol of the region’s rich cultural heritage and offers a unique setting for photography and relaxation.
Surrounding the Pliva Lakes, dense forests and scenic walking paths provide opportunities for hiking and nature walks.
The area is abundant in flora and fauna, making it a haven for nature lovers and birdwatchers.
Exploring the lakeside trails, visitors can enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings, listen to the soothing sound of cascading water, and admire the beauty of the unspoiled natural landscape.
