Just a 20 minutes drive from HoneyLand there is a wild lake, close to the village of Blatuša. The drive will take you through some lovely country roads and you will find yourself in a very special place – wild lake Blatuša. During long summer days, the lake provides perfect spot for a picnic on a beach and a natural relaxing spa. No matter how hot the summer day is, the banks of the lake offer shade and pleasant temperature. Shade is provided by the forest, since the lake is surrounded by trees and bushes, proving that biodiversity creates the most perfect climate and ecosystem.
A Natural Haven: Picnics and Pristine Waters
The water is clean and continuously naturally filtered, thanks to the underground water sources that keep running. For this the water is usually warmer on the surface and fresh under and you will notice the changes in temperature as you swim. There are few places around the lake where you can set up your beach and picnic. Most of the time there is no one there and you will be completely alone.
The Origin Story: Nature Triumphs at Wild Lake Blatuša
The lake was actually created by accident. Long time ago, one company started to dig in this place for industrial purposes. The plan was to dig on this spot in order to find stones and minerals. But what was found were natural water sources that prevented further digging and created a lake. Nature won, the workers left and over time nature created something completely new and a special little eco system was shaped, keeping the water clean and filtered and everything living here is in perfect harmony. The serenity of this place is hard to describe. It has a special unexplainable magic that immediately relaxes you and you forget that the rest of the world exists. Beautiful dragonflies, frogs on a leaf minding their own business, you will just feel like a part of nature.
The Spa Day Secret: White Clay and Rejuvenation
Besides the relaxing effect of this oasis, there is one more special secret that will offer you a real spa day. The colour of the lake is milky because of the white clay that can be found under and on the banks of the lake. And it is the kind of clay that you can use for cosmetic purposes, it cleans and softens skin. So, make sure to find it and apply it all over your face and body. Leave it on until it dries and then rinse it and enjoy your smooth skin. The magic of the lake works every time, we are happy and rejuvenated after every visit.
The Eco-Village Connection: Blatuša’s Harmony with Nature
Another interesting fact is that the lake is situated close to the eco-village Blatuša. In the village of Blatuša, there is an eco-village, a community of individuals who decided to live in an oasis of peaceful life in harmony with nature and with respect for biodiversity and natural order. Same like in HoneyLand, here you can witness minimal intervention in the environment and no use of pesticides and other harmful substances in agriculture. Thanks to that you will enjoy the untouched landscape, lots of forest, uncut meadows full of flowers and plants. We especially love this because this ensures a safe environment for the bees, of course!
