Goričko jezero

Directions

Горичко језеро · Trebinjsko jezero

A reservoir on the Trebišnjica a few kilometres above Trebinje, made by the Gorica dam for the Trebinje II power station. It is also known as Trebinjsko jezero.

How it formed

The Gorica dam, opened in 1981, holds the lake back a few kilometres above Trebinje. It serves as a compensation basin, evening out each day’s flow from the Trebinje I plant upstream, and the small Trebinje II plant stands directly below the dam.
