Liqeni i Seferanit is one of the lakes of the Dumre karst plateau, beside the village of Seferan, about 3 km from central Belsh. Large yellow water lilies grow on it, and by the water stands a statue of Aphrodite, recalling a legend that the goddess blessed the village in Illyrian times.
How it formed
The lake formed when several water-filled karst funnels merged, which gives it its unusual shape. It is shallow on average but reaches about 20 m at its deepest.

Merhoja, with canoes and paddleboards, is close by, and the Guesthouse of the Roses serves saffron tea and bread with local olive oil.
