Rama Lake

An unusual semi-circular shape of the lake with lots of bays and islands, surrounded by lush greenery, makes the scenery almost surreal. No wonder that the Rama Lake is considered one of the most beautiful ones in Europe, together with a fascinating Šćit Island and a Franciscan monastery, where people come to find tranquility and inner harmony. Situated 11 km from the town of Prozor, on the altitude of 595 meters, the lake spills out over the dam built on the Rama River in 1968. As a result, the area of 15 square kilometers was flooded together with 20 settlements. In 2011, during the strongest drought, when the water was withdrawn, the remnants of an underwater town suddenly reappeared. Rama Lake offers a plentiful of options for an active holiday such as fishing, boating, swimming or hiking, but astonishingly this gem is still relatively untouristy. Among rare but regular visitors are some of the world’s best rowers who come here each year to prepare for the competitions. If you are a nature enthusiast always on the hunt for beautiful hidden gems with very few tourists, then Rama Lake, where peace meets wildlife, is your next perfect destination.
