The lake is located in a flat basin with impermeable soil (a type of karst sinkhole called polje) between the mountain ranges of Mount Pomario (Veliki Javornik) and Mount Witches (Velika Slivnica).
The peculiarity of this body of water is that it is an ephemeral (or seasonal) karst lake, meaning that its volume depends on precipitation: its basin can empty completely in a short time, since in some places there are sinkholes capable of draining all the water, including that of the tributaries, into the cavity of the subsoil[3].
