Blue and Red Lake

About tour

Blue Lake, one of the two pearls of Imotski nature. It is situated at the edge of the town Imotski. Blue Lake is a huge sinkhole, deep about 150 m in the south part and about 290 m in the northern part. It is an 800m long and 400m wide karst chasm. The level of water changes throughout the year. Sometimes, the water level is higher than 100 m, but it is not rare for the lake to completely dry up in the early autumn, forming a perfect spot for a traditional football match. Red Lake the other pearl of nature, is located 1.5 km west of the Blue Lake. It is a real miracle of our karst. The Red Lake intimidates visitors with its red steep rocks which end in a 300 m wide chasm. The lake bottom is below sea level, while the level of water is above sea level, which makes this lake a rare example of a crypto-depression in Croatia. On its north side slopes are 550 m high,and the level of water varies throughout the year, but not as much as water level of Blue lake. The depth of the lake is 252 m, and the average water depth is about 300 m. Red Lake is connected with „The legend of Gavan“ – legend about the origins of the Red Lake.
