Mountain Experience

One day tour

Shar Mountain, Lake of Karanikola

Picturesque. The third largest lake on Shara Mountain is situated on the north of Leshnica above the villages of Bozovce and Veshala. While climbing there is a breathtaking view of the third rock of Lesnica. This is a sight that cannot be replaced by any other. The destination you can’t describe with the words, docile surroundings with soft pastures and a lake that changes with every visit. The color of the lake is so beautiful; only if you see it you will know. This offer includes a mountain tour to Karanikolica Lake and visiting the villages of Bozovce and Veshala.
