Tips
The lake is reached on foot from Novo Selo. A wide dirt jeep road runs for the first 3 km, and a forest trail then starts at the hydropower plant, climbing about 7 km to the high lakes.
The one-way three-lakes route also takes in Crno Ezero and Belo Ezero and has marked places for drinking water. The trails are poorly marked, so take a map or GPS track; the access road is rough and muddy in wet weather. Getting into the water is not recommended, because of fishing nets.
