Hiking
The lake part of the complex consists of two oval artificial lakes, a small and a large one, with a total area of 56,000m2. The lakes were built in the 70s of the last century and are fed by the mountain streams Cjepalo and Skakavac and by subaquatic springs below the Big Lake. The only island is the Crna rijeka river, which flows in the south-north direction and after 17 km flows into the Vrbas river.
In July and August, the water temperature in the small lake reaches a pleasant 20°C, making the lake suitable for swimming.
