This lake you see is artificial in origin but that doesn't make it less impressive. If you ever visit Mostar, I recommend you visit this lake. It is situated in the vicinity of the city. Peaceful and serene atmosphere, birds and other animals to observe, beautiful nature, magnificent mountain views....
...what is there not to love?
Ovo jezero koje vidite je umjetno, ali ga to ne čini manje impresivnim. Posjetite li ikad Mostar, savjetujem vam da posjetite i ovo jezero. Nalazi se u blizini grada. Mirna i umirujuća atmosfera, ptice i druge životinje za promatrati, prekrasna priroda, veličanstveni pogled na planine.
...Što bi se tu moglo ne voljeti?
POST UPDATE 2024: ADDING NEW RELEVANT LINKS
I ILLUSTRATED THIS LAKE BACK IN 2018. I MEAN IT'S JUST A QUICK watercolour sketch, but who knows. I might be inspired to paint this place.
This illustration was more a fashion illustration with a background. I felt like adding a background to my fashion illustration. This background was inspired by my last visit to Mostar lake. Being close to any kind of a large water surface is potentially beneficial for our health. Do you like visiting lakes? U often post about sea therapy, but I guess a case could be made for lake therapy as well. Mostar lake is a truly beautiful location. It already inspired one illustration of mine.

SPRING IN MOSTAR CITY 2024
Mostar is always lovely but especially so in the Spring time. I always repeat that Spring is the best time to visit Mostar. Speaking of Mostar, the capital of Herzegovina, one shouldn't forget other visit worthy locations in this region. Herzegovina is simply dreamy in Spring time. I will link a few up for those who might be interested, so don't worry.

HERZEGOVINA IN THE SUMMERTIME: A REGION OF FULL OF DIVERSITY- One thing that fascinates me about Herzegovina is how diverse and colourful it is. It is a great destination for summer. You can visit so many different areas just in immediate vicinity of Mostar and even more if we're talking about the region as such. Anyhow, if you are visiting Mostar, you definitely should drive here and enjoy the mountain air. I often state that Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of those underrated destinations. Herzegovina in particular offers all the benefits of Mediterranean climate, but at the same time you can enjoy the mountains that are only a short drive or a climb away. My list of mountain attractions and oasis wouldn't be complete without Rujište. It is easy to get there by car and the high altitude ensures all the famous benefits of mountain air. I do enjoy enjoy these kind of improvised trips. They are easy to organize, don't take a lot of time and they still allow you to indulge your wanderlust. Do you love weekend getaways? Do you indulge in such trips and excursions? Do you like mountains?

OUTFIT TIPS FOR VISITING MOSTAR - In this post, I showed you some outfit tips for visiting Mostar city in Summer.
Mostar is the second largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, second only to Sarajevo. Being the the largest city in the Herzegovina region, Mostar is the natural business, administrative, cultural, educational and tourist centre of the Herzegovina region. Many people visit this beautiful city for a variety of river. Besides being absolutely stunning, Mostar is also know for record high temperatures in the summertime. Hence, you should pay special attention to the clothes you're wearing when visiting Mostar, especially if you're venturing outside in daylight or when the sun is still strong.
WHEN VISITING MOSTAR IN SUMMER BEWARE OF THE STRONG SUN AND THE STRONG TEMPERATURES!
What to wear when you're feeling hot? This question is very valid one, especially if you happen to find yourself in an urban jungle of some sort. Indeed, I'm sure this is a question that often comes to our mind during these hot summer days, especially if you happen to find yourself in a city, where the heat seems to multiply with the amount of concrete cover areas. Fortunately, there are ways to make our life easier. Besides the obvious answer- looking for the nearest city park to escape the heat, another way to minimize the unpleasant feeling of being overheated is by choosing our outfits wisely. The first thing to consider is the material of our clothes. Natural materials are the best options, but if you don't have any cotton or line items at hand, certain cuts can also be helpful. For example, I have a pink vintage polyester dress that is very comfortable to wear in the summer. Polyester isn't the most breathable material, in fact it is just the opposite, but you won't overheat if you choose a good cut for yourselves. Anything that doesn't stick to your body should do the trick. Think about all the breezy or oversize items you have. Choose A-line dresses or skirts instead of pencil ones. When sun is strong, wear lighter shades and colours to repeal its rays. Choosing the perfect summer outfit is a combination of colour, cut and material of your clothes as well as a pair of comfortable shoes.
Such a pretty maxi dress, you look super gorgeous Ivana. Kisses <3
