jezero (Vransko Lake), a lake and cryptodepression in Ravni
Kotari, northeast of Pakostane; area 30.1 sq km (length
13.6 km, width up to 2.2 m, depth up to 3.9 m). The water,
supplied by the Skorobic brook and sev-eral springs, flows
beneath the ground and through the artificial canal Prosika
(850 m) into the bay of Pirovac. The highest summits in
Ravni Kotari (standarac, 305 m), offering a nice view on
the hinterland and the coastal strip, rise along the north-eastern,
forested shore of the lake. The lake is rich in fish (carps,
mullets, eels, etc.). The area comprising 30 hectares is
designated a special ornithological reserve. The easiest
access to the lake is from the main road at Pakostane (400
m) or from Prosika.
Today one of the famous freshwater fishing grounds in this
part of Europe, known among Australians, Germans, Italians
and other nations. Fishing can be individual or organized,
as well as excursions to the lake.
