History
The Lokvarsko Lake dam — a 41-metre-tall wall built in 1954 for the Vinodol hydro system — holds back Gorski Kotar's largest artificial lake. A short walkway runs along the crest with vertical drops on both sides; the surrounding fir forest and Mrzla Vodica hamlet make it a favourite trail-run start.
“When the water level drops in autumn, the remains of a village submerged in 1954 briefly reappear above the surface.”
