This natural phenomenon has already puzzled the greek historian Strabo in the 1^st century B.C. Having water however, it allows boat trips, swimming and fishing. Mount Slivnica is offering th emost beautiful view at the lake. Being known as the ancestral seat of whitches at Valvascor’s time, nowadays it’s popular for rock climbing, hang- and paragliding.
