Semeteš lake

Summer on Kopaonik is a special experience, and one of the places that you certainly should visit is the lake that hides an interesting phenomenon. People rarely find it by themselves, and when they see it, they do not forget the lake, or the story of it. There are floating islands on the Semeteš Lake, which have high vegetation and which are water-driven by wind. Because of this phenomenon, the lake was declared as monument of nature. The lake is about 80 meters wide, and professional divers couldn’t measure the depth of the lake because of strong underwater springs. Interestingly, the water level in the lake is always the same, regardless of the year was rainy or dry. It is not known when or how it was created, and in Semeteš, which has about 50 households, each house knows at least two legends about the lake. The best known is that the priest was doing wheat on St. Kirik and the local people warned him not to work at that time. He started the job, the land opened, swallowed him and the horses, and the sprayed water formed the lake.
