Going on an unforgettable adventure in search of the true treasures of our planet, you should undoubtedly add one more place to your itinerary: the pearl of the Balkan Peninsula, Croatia, or rather the small town of Imotski with the legendary karst lakes.

Red and Blue lakes have long been legendary. Their natural beauty and mystery inspire artists and poets and attract many lovers of unique natural monuments and fans of ecotourism to these regions.

According to some sources, beautiful freshwater reservoirs appeared on the site of the collapse of giant underground caves. Others claim that water filled the crater of long-dormant volcanoes. It is still unknown what caused the creation of these marvelous lakes in Imotski. But it doesn't matter. Their mysterious appearance makes travelers freeze as if enchanting them with their unearthly beauty.

The famous Imotski lakes have long been included in the list of the most significant world attractions and all popular travel itineraries. And if Blue Lake dries up in hot weather, Red Lake, fed by underground waters, pleases tourists throughout the year. This lake got its name, "Red", due to the color of the surrounding rocks. Of course, the water in it is blue. However, the picturesque red mountains reflect in it, as if in a mirror, tincturing the blue waters with a subtle red hue. This is especially noticeable in bright sunny weather. What's more, these mountain guards protect the lake from gusty winds, making it an ideal place even for families with babies. After swimming in the gentle waters of the unique karst lake, do not forget to climb to the observation deck, which is popular among travelers. It offers a fabulous view of the entire lake, red rocks, and surrounding green valleys, covered with a floral carpet.
