Zavoj lake

Zavoj lake is an artificial lake in eastern Serbia, on the Visočica river. It was created in 1963 after a major landslide which dammed the river and the natural dam was later replaced with hydroelectric dam "Zavoj".



Lake Zavoj is located in eastern Serbia, in the northern part of the Visok region, close to the Serbian-Bulgarian border. Lake is in the valley of the Visočica river which is both its major tributary and outflow, between the mountains of Stara Planina on the north and Vidlič on the south. Lake is located 16km north of the town of Pirot, close to the Visočica mouth into the Temštica river and is not well connected with the rest of the Serbia. Settlements in the vicinity of the lake, which is among the least populated in the entire Serbia, include Novi Zavoj, Velika Lukanja and Pakleštica.


Zavoj lake is a favorite resort of Pirot and Niš citizens. The water of the lake is rich in white fish.
