Directions

Part of Pliva Lakes

Malo Plivsko jezero is the smaller of the two lakes on the Pliva, about five kilometres from Jajce, joined to Veliko Plivsko jezero beside the old wooden watermills of the Mlinčići.

History

Mills have worked on the Pliva here since 1562. Twenty of the original twenty-four small wooden mills survive at the Mlinčići, between the two lakes; they are one of the best-loved sights around Jajce and a record of the Ottoman-era crafts of the town.

Nature

The lakes matter for hydroelectric power, sport fishing, fish farming and recreation, and the Pliva is a source of drinking water for Jajce.
