Bacina Lakes
Baćina Lakes is a group of seven lakes just a few minutes of driving from the city of Ploče. Once a very popular tourist place, Baćina lakes today are the place where you can find true peace, far from the crowded beaches and right into the heart of nature. Even in the high season. Six of the total of seven lakes are connected and together they form a place of unique beauty on the Dalmatian coast.
Apart from kayaking, there are other tours you can take while at Baćina Lakes. In case you are coming to lakes by bike, we have good news for you. There is a bike trail that goes all around the lakes. Bird watching observation point is part of this bike trail and it’s the best point to observe the rich natural life of Baćina Lakes. Being on the edge of Neretva Valley, lakes are very rich and abundant with every kind of wildlife, especially birds. There are more than 300 bird species in the wider Neretva area and many of them found their home right on Baćina lakes. A lot of them can be seen while kayaking as well.
When observed from the air, Baćina Lakes seem to have a different water color and that is due to different soil compositions and vegetation on the bottom of the lake. Another peculiar thing about the lakes is a 2-kilometer-long tunnel that was dug some 100 years ago to take away excess water from one large lake (nowadays known as Jezero Valley) behind the hills. The tunnel named Maričevac is dry during the summer months and it’s possible to walk through it. It’s one of the places we recommend you visit while staying in the Baćina lakes area, we even had a Maričevac tunnel tour that we organized for a few years.
