Batinovac is a lake located in Plitvice Lakes National Park, part of the Upper Lakes group in Croatia.MVEP • Plitvice Lakes
Description The lake is situated at an altitude of 610 meters. It has a surface area of 1.5 hectares and a maximum depth of 5 meters. Its length is 140 meters, and its width is up to 80 meters.
The lake is surrounded by tall beech trees. A well-maintained path passes by a series of smaller waterfalls, where the formation of tufa is visible, created by moss and plants that accumulate limestone.Upper Lakes :: znanje.org
Batinovac receives water from the upstream Okrugljak Lake and Prošćansko Lake through an old human-made channel. Part of its water flows over a waterfall into Lake Galovac, while the rest spills into smaller lakes located to the north.
Well-marked trails from here lead visitors toward smaller lakes overgrown with reeds and numerous small waterfalls.
The constant sound of water creates a calming atmosphere and allows visitors to enjoy the almost surreal beauty of the surrounding waterfalls. On a clear, sunny day, the experience and scenery leave a lasting impression.Plitvice Lakes: Batinovac Lake - Information and Pictures
