Šaransko jezero, “Carp Lake”, is one of the Bela Crkva lakes in the Banat, a former gravel pit with very clear water. It is one of the group’s wild lakes, with no swimming facilities, and it belongs above all to anglers.
How it formed
Like its neighbours, it fills a pit left by gravel digging, topped up by groundwater and rain and filtered through the gravelly ground.
Nature
Anglers come for grass carp, pike-perch, pike, carp and catfish. Goosanders winter on the lake.

Tips
Come here for a quiet day’s fishing rather than a swim; the developed beaches are on the neighbouring lakes. Winter is the best season for waterbirds, and a telescope helps.
Bela Crkva is about 100 km east of Belgrade, by the regional road through Pančevo and Kovin. See the Bela Crkva Lakes page for more.
