The Lokvarsko Lake is an artificial lake covering over 2 square kms and 40 m deep that extends to the foot of Risnjak. The lake is open throughout the year for fishing, relaxing walks along its shores and, in the summer, for swimming. A note to fishermen: some of the largest trout in the world have been caught here! The Fužine region abounds with water and to harness it the local inhabitants built three reservoirs hosting scores of species of fish - making them perfect for fishing.

The Bajer Lake, also in Fužine, is ideal for boat rides, canoeing, kayaking, and surfing – benefitting from helpful breezes. If you wish to get to know the lake better
you can walk its shores or take an excursion on a tourist boat.
Sveti Anton (St. Anthony) is a tourist boat run by an ecological engine that cruises along the Bajer Lake offering the visitors the pleasure of experiencing an attractive passage into a tributary flowing towards the Lepenica Lake. The panoramic ride lasts approx. 45 minutes and the visitors can board the boat at the port located about 200 m from the center of Fužine. There is a restaurant on the boat. The boat has a capacity to receive 60 persons.
The Lepenica Lake is the largest of the three lakes and a great swimming destination with water temperatures reaching 23°c in summer. For sportsmen the lake also provides diving, orienteering and fishing competitions. The Potkoš Lake is the youngest and smallest of the three and is located at the foot of Bitoraj, between Fužine and Lič. It is popular with those looking for some fun or a great picnic spot.

KRASNO

The road that turns off the main coastal road in Sveti Juraj leads to Krasno Polje. This is the largest village on Mount Velebit and is located at an elevation of 714 metres above sea level. Krasno Polje is one of the most famous Marian pilgrimage sites in Croatia and is visited by tens of thousands of believers every year. The village also hosts the main office of Northern Velebit National Park. It has two sawmills, a forestry office, and a cheese dairy. The first forestry museum in Croatia was opened here in 2005.

If you’d like to enjoy a stay in touch with nature, you can choose from among the accommodation options in Krasno, but also the renovated shepherd’s huts in Lubenovac and Alan inside the borders of Northern Velebit National Park. Hikers can find accommodation in several mountain huts in the surrounding area (Apatišan, Oltari, Zavižan, Alan). This is an ideal opportunity for all those who want to experience a truly natural environment.
