At a distance of 35 kilometers from Vrsac, in the municipality of Bela Crkva, there is a specific tourist, natural complex that consists of 7 larger and more smaller lakes. They are one of the main attractions of Bela Crkva and represent a perfect picnic area and tourist potential of the South Banat district.

Characteristics of the lakes
All lakes in this area are artificial. They were created by the exploitation of gravel, which began in 1904. This process created a terrain suitable for making a lake that will enrich the tourist offer of this area. The lakes are of different depths and rich in fish, so, in addition to swimming, fishing is also possible. The rich tourist offer consists of the Main or City Lake, Vračevgaj Lake, Carp Lake, Pebble Lake, Novo Lake and Malo Lake. Unfortunately, Novo and Malo lakes are not suitable for swimming. However, other lakes are equipped with either a concrete beach or a natural look, with grass, sand and gravel.

It is the largest and best-equipped lake, with a part of the beach that is paved. The average depth of the lake is 3 meters. Within the lake complex, there are arranged toilets, a beach with showers, as well as a shared beach, a ski jump and a sailing club. Due to the fact that the lake is located only 800 meters from the main city center, it is easily accessible and there are a large number of bars and restaurants in its vicinity. There are also bungalows, apartment and camp settlements on the coast. There are also numerous basketball courts, tennis courts, trim trails and children's playgrounds.
