Red Lake in Imotski

Red Lake in Imotski is one of the two most famous lakes in Imotski. If you have rented an apartment, room or holiday house in Imotski, Red Lake is an attraction you will not miss. It owes its name to the reddish earth that surrounds it, which paints the surface of the lake into red. Red Lake is one of the deepest lakes in Europe, and its depth was first measured in 1998 when it was 287 meters with a height difference of 528 m. In essence, it is a karst pit whose vault collapsed due to seismic activities. But, as it is common case with the folks, there is a legend of Gavans castle connected to the lake. The haughty and arrogant rich man Gavan received Gods punishment, so the castle collapsed, and the lake was created. This is not the only legend associated with Red Lake in Imotski. It is allegedly impossible to throw the stone into the lake, due to the configuration of the terrain and the flow of air above the pit. The one who succeeds is accompanied by eternal happiness. Try it, maybe its you.
