Information About

Lake Of Ledinci




Lake of Ledinci (, near Novi Sad . The lake arose in late 1990s, when fresh water from nearby Creeks filled an abandoned Quarry . The lake is now a small touristic Resort , and the local community of Ledinci village and the company that runs it are ambitious to expand the tourist services.

The lake is surrounded by steep cliffs from most sides, with a slope on the rest, allowing the swimmers to enter. It is Bean -shaped, with length of about 400 Metre s and greatest width of about 100 m. The average depth is 15 m, and the biggest around 45 m. It lies on Altitude of 300 m. The water is characteristically green and clear, due to constant influx from feeding springs, and chilly even in hot summer days.

In late 1990s and early 2000s, exploitation rights on the lake were under a multilateral dispute by the local community, City of Novi Sad, the mining company which owned the quarry and the public company guiding the National Park of Fruška gora. Due to frequent incoherent court and municipality decisions, the lake was at threat of disappearing at a moment, because the mining company required to be back in possession, and the lake was deemed unsafe due to possible water breakthrough. Ultimatively, the disputes ended in favor of retaining the lake, which presents one of pearls of the National park, and making it a touristic resort.

In 2003, Zdravko Čolić recorded a Video for his song "Ao, nono bijela" at the site of Lake Ledinci.
