Lake on Grliska River
Not far from the place where the Grliska River flows into the Beli Timok an artificial accumulation lake was created in 1989. It is named after the river.
The primary reason to create Lake Grlisko was to provide drinking water to the town of Zajecar. Its secondary purpose is sediment retention, that is, irrigation.
Precisely because its main function is to supply drinking water, boats are not allowed on this lake. Also, tourist facilities cannot be seen in the vicinity of this lake, which also makes sense.
But there are a number of small houses and camping sites. This lake is mostly visited by fishing and nature lovers.
