Zavoj Lake

Water type: Artificial lake
Continent: Europe
Climate: Mountain

Zavoj Lake is an artificial lake in eastern Serbia, on the Visočica River. On February 25, 1963, a huge landslide from the sunny side of the Stara Planina rushed into the valley of the Visočica River and dammed a river creating a natural earth dam that was 500 meters long and 50 meters high. A reservoir was created behind the dam, flooding the village of Zavoj. This original natural lake was dried, the natural dam was consolidated and the artificial lake was recreated, this time as a reservoir for the hydroelectric power plant Pirot.
