Mostarsko jezero

Directions

A reservoir on the Neretva above the Mostar dam, on the northern edge of the city.

How it formed

The lake is the reservoir of the Mostar hydroelectric plant, which began working in 1987, the last of the four main dams on the middle Neretva after Jablanica, Salakovac and Grabovica. Water levels below depend on what these dams release.

Tips

The lake lies on the northern edge of Mostar, close to the M-17 road. The city’s Old Bridge is the obvious pairing. The Neretva here stays cold even in August, and below Mostar it is calm enough for sea kayaks, which outfitters in the city rent.
