About
Prokosko Lake lies at about 1,636 metres above sea level on Vranica Mountain in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a glacial lake set among high peaks and open alpine meadows, and it makes a quiet destination for anyone who enjoys mountain scenery.
What to expect
The lake is known locally as "The Eye of the Mountain," and its heart-shaped outline is often mentioned by visitors. The water is described as clear, which suits calm, reflective viewing and photography, especially in good light. Much of the appeal lies in the setting itself: the surrounding peaks, the meadows, and the stillness of the place.
Walking and the surrounding area
- The area is suited to hiking, with routes through the mountain landscape.
- The alpine meadows make a pleasant place to pause, rest, and take in the views.
- The mountain setting gives a chance to experience traditional mountain life in the region.
Because the lake sits at altitude in a mountain area, it is worth preparing for changeable conditions and checking the route and weather before setting out. A visit suits those who want fresh air, open landscapes and a slower pace, rather than a town-based sightseeing day.
