History of Vlasinsko Jezero

Driven by the wind, they float from one shore of the lake to another, carrying the flora and fauna, and serving as the shelter and food source for the fish underneath. For that reason, they are an attractive location for fishermen. The largest such island has the area of 8 ha, and is referred to as "Moby-Dick" by the local population. It is overgrown with dense vegetation, including birch trees. However, most of the time it is anchored along the shores.

Water

The temperature of the water reaches 21-23 °C in the summer months, making for refreshing swimming. It freezes in the winter, and the ice crust can be as much as 2 meters thick. The temperature also varies with location and depth. In the village of Topli Do south of the lake, there is a water factory "Vlasinka", producing the high-quality oligo mineral water "Vlasinska Rosa", a renowned brand in Serbia. It was purchased by Coca-Cola Company in 2005.
