Experience the breathtaking beauty of Baćinska Jezera, a stunning group of seven interconnected freshwater lakes nestled in southern Dalmatia, Croatia. Surrounded by the Adriatic Sea, the Neretva River Delta, and the Biokovo mountain range, this natural oasis offers a peaceful retreat for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Baćinska Jezera features seven lakes: Oćuša, Crniševo, Podgora, Sladinac, Vrbnik, Šipak, and Plitko, all formed in soluble limestone. A unique aspect of this lake system is its classification as a cryptodepression, with the deepest lake, Crniševo, reaching 34 meters and containing saltwater at its bottom.
