Tourist Guide

Blue Lake *
(Croatian: Modro jezero or Plavo jezero) is a karst lake located near Imotski in southern Croatia. Like the nearby Red Lake, it lies in a deep sinkhole possibly formed by the collapse of an enormous underground cave. The total depth from the upper rim is around 220 meters, while water depth varies with season. In spring, when the snow from surrounding mountains melts, it can reach 90 m, and in 1914 it reached 114 m, overflowing the southern rim. The lake is a popular destination for hiking and sight-seeing.

Maximum dimensions of the lake are around 800×500 m, but they significantly vary due to big changes in the water level. At the end of the summer the lake may completely disappear.

In 1907 a road was built descending to the lake. In 1942, an earthquake caused a large landfall resulting in reduction of the lake's depth.

Modro jezero
Insane beautiful blue karst lake in Imotski. 
Created by the collapse of an enormous cave. (Same as with the nearby Red lake.) 
Now you can make fantastic hikes along the craters and have a refreshing swim in the blue lake. Just awesome! 💦💙

The room was cleaned but no available bathrobe and you pay extra to have room clean/tidy up. However, for the price during our stay, it is not really a big issue.
