BEŠENOVO LAKE

BEŠENOVO LAKE

Bešenovo Lake, also known as Beli Kamen Lake, is located near the village of Bešenovo on Fruška Gora. It is approximately 20 kilometres from Sremska Mitrovica.

The lake was formed in a former quarry from which the Beočin cement works extracted marl. The quarry began filling with water in the 1980s, after it was abandoned. After 20 years, the lake had reached a depth of 50 metres.

The lake currently reaches a maximum depth of as much as 57 metres, and it continues to deepen. The water is believed to have therapeutic properties due to its mineral composition. The same is believed to apply to the mud around the lake, and it is not uncommon to see visitors applying it to their bodies. The water is clear and clean, with an unusual turquoise-blue colour. The lake is surrounded by white stone rocks, which gave rise to its alternative name, Beli Kamen (‘White Stone’).

The area around the lake is not an official beach and there are no lifeguards. Due to the depth of the lake and the steep terrain, swimming is recommended only for experienced swimmers.

SWIMMING IN THE LAKE IS PROHIBITED. VISITORS ENTER THE AREA AT THEIR OWN RISK.
