Sights to see, Places to visit: Lake Blidinje/ Mjesta za posjetiti, znamenitosti za vidjeti : jezero Blidinje

Today we shall talk about Lake Blidinje. As the name would imply, this lake is located in the nature park Blidinje. It is the largest mountain lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina, located at an elevation of 1.885 meters (3.888 feet). I personally haven't seen a mountain lake of this size before. There is something almost surreal about seeing a lake in mountains, especially at this kind of altitude. I wonder is anyone  brave enough to swim in there. Maybe I will dare it some other time. This lake isn't very deep, its maximal dept is about 3 meters and its average dept is only 0.5 m. Its width and length are a bit over 2 km, but these two can vary depending on weather conditions. I can tell you that this lake was a very impressive sight. Anyhow, you will get to tour it too, at least virtually, because today I will show you lake Blidinje from different angles. These photographs were taken on two locations, one right next to the lake and the second one a bit higher above (on those photographs you can see the lake in the background. There are about 30 photographs in this post, I hope that's not too much. I'm wearing the same dress, but I had to replace my shoes with sandals because it was too hot. Too warm at this height, at this altitude? That's Herzegovina for you, you can't escape the heat, not even in the mountains. The mountain air felt very fresh and sweet, but the sun was merciless.

Danas ćemo pričati o jezeru Blidinje. Kao što ime da pretpostaviti, ovo jezero smješteno je u parku prirode Blidinje. To je najveće planinsko jezero u Bosni i Hercegovini, a nalazi se na nadmorskoj visini koja iznosi 1.888 metara. Ja osobno nisam prije nikad vidjela toliko planinsko jezero. Ima nešto gotovo nadnaravno u prisutnosti jezera u planinama, pogotovo na ovolikoj visini. Pitam se je li itko toliko hrabar za plivanje u ovom jezeru. Tko zna, možda se ja idući put usudim. Ovo jezero nije veoma duboko, njegova maksimalna dubina je svega tri metra, a prosječna samo pola metra. Širina i dužina su oko dva kilometra, ali mogu varirati ovisno o vremenskim prilikama. Mogu vam reći da je ovo jezero vrlo impresivan prizor. Vi ćete također malo ga razgledati, barem virtualno, jer ću vam pokazati ovo jezero iz više kutova. Ove fotografije su uslikane na dvije lokacije, jedna od lokacije je odmah pokraj jezera, a druga malo poviše i na tim fotografijama jezero možete vidjeti u pozadini. Ima oko 30 fotografija u ovoj objavi, nadam se da vam to nije previše. Nosim istu haljinu, ali morala sam promijeniti cipele jer mi je bilo previše vruće. Previše vruće na toj visini? To vam je Hercegovina, ni u planini ne možete pobjeći visokim temperaturama. Planinski zrak bio je svjež i sladak, ali sunce je bilo nemilosrdno.
