This water accumulation, sandwiched between steep limestone banks, was created by building a dam 43 kilometers from the mouth of the Uvac to the Lim River.

The lake has been a tourist attraction for decades, along with two other in the Uvac area - Zlatar and Uvac.

Surrounded by coniferous woods, Radoinja Lake is a real paradise for nature lovers. It will be especially pleasing to those who do not hesitate to swim in cold waters, because the temperature of the lake ranges from 10 to 12 degrees Celsius, and even in the warmest part of the year it does not exceed 21 degrees.

The lake is also extraordinary for fishers; it has trout, common nase, European chub, Arctic char it its waters...

Nature is very generous in this part of the Uvac Canyon. Tourists will get to know it best if they decide to go rafting, because the lake itself offers a fascinating view of the impressive canyon. Around the cliffs and reefs of the lake, you can also see griffon vultures fly - a bird species that has made the Uvac Special Nature Reserve its home.
