Zelengora Lakes

The Zelengora lakes are the mountain lakes of Zelengora, a range of the Dinaric Alps inside Sutjeska National Park in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a named set rather than a single system. The range is built mostly of limestone and is bordered by the Neretva on the south-west, the Sutjeska on the east and the Lelija range on the north; the Neretva itself rises in these mountains. Orlovačko jezero is the one most visited, and Štirinsko jezero is the largest lake on the mountain; the others lie higher and are reached on foot. In June 1943 Zelengora was the scene of fierce fighting in the Battle of the Sutjeska.
