Grabovičko jezero

Directions

Grabovica

A reservoir on the Neretva between Jablanica and Mostar, just above Salakovac lake.

How it formed

The lake is the reservoir of the Grabovica hydroelectric plant, in the Neretva canyon in the municipality of Jablanica, one of the chain of dams between Jablanica and Mostar. The Neretva, the Glogošnica and the Komadinovo vrelo spring feed it.

History

The flash floods of October 2024, which killed many people around Jablanica, swept huge amounts of wood and rubbish down the Neretva into the reservoir, and it took weeks to clear.

Tips

The M-17 road between Mostar and Sarajevo runs alongside the river, so the lake is easy to see on the way. The Neretva stays very cold even in August; ask locally about fishing and access to the water.
