If you’re looking for the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature, autumn at Lake Balkana offers an ideal setting for an unforgettable photo walk.
Located near Mrkonjić Grad along the Jajce-Bihać highway, Balkana comprises a complex of two artificial lakes—Veliko and Malo Lake—within the Balkana tourist and recreational center.
These two lakes, created in the 1970s, captivate visitors year-round with their oval shape and crystal-clear water, especially in autumn, when the landscape shines in warm shades of red, orange, and yellow.
Fed by the mountain streams Cjepalo and Skakavac, as well as sublacustrine springs, the lakes support a rich variety of flora and fauna unique to the region.
Veliko Lake, particularly popular among fishing enthusiasts, is home to various fish species, including grass carp, tench, and trout, while Malo Lake, with its peaceful surroundings, attracts those seeking a place to rest and enjoy the natural beauty.
Autumn at Balkana is a paradise for photography lovers, as the fall colors, the serene lakes, and the reflections of the mountain streams create a true haven for the lens.
