Jažinačko jezero, Liqeni i Jazhincës in Albanian, is a small glacial lake in the eastern Šar Mountains in Kosovo, just below the peak of Peskovi, on hiking routes. It is one of the blue glacial lakes known as “Šar’s eyes”, with Malo Jažinačko, the smaller lake of the same name, a little higher up among large rocks.
Nature
Big boulders around parts of the shore shelter small animals. The range is home to about 2,000 plant species, 18 of them endemic, and to brown bears, lynx, chamois and wildcats.

Tips
The Šar Mountains are a national park, and tourism here is little developed, with only a few hotels and private cottages. Brezovica has the range’s ski centre. Summer is the time to walk, as the snow lasts from November to May.
