Radoinjsko jezero

Lake Radoinjsko Jezero - the most important information

In addition to lakes Uvacko and Zlatarsko, Radoinjsko Jezero is the third one that has been created by blocking the flow of the Uvac River. These artificial lakes have been created primarily because of hydroelectric power plants. At first, they were accumulation lakes or reservoirs, but they quickly gained the function of tourist destinations.

The origin of the lake Radoinjsko Jezero
Radoinjsko Jezero lies at an altitude of 805 meters and is the smallest of all artificial lakes on Uvac.

With this, the river Uvac course got somewhat changed, which is only one of the phenomena of this dynamic river.

Otherwise known for its winding meanders, the Uvac river attracts a lot of people to its valley with its clear lake surfaces. Radoinjsko Jezero here offers visitors beautiful natural surroundings, freshness, and numerous places to relax.
