Batllava Lake
Liqeni i Batllavës
A man-made lake northeast of Pristina, popular in summer with locals for swimming, boating and grilled fish by the water.
Lake Batllava is a reservoir built in the 1960s to supply water to Pristina. Green trees line its shores. In summer there are temporary beaches, kayaking and several lakeside restaurants. It is about 30 kilometres from the city centre, roughly 40 minutes by car, and gets crowded on weekends. The lake area is mainly for leisure and has no notable cultural sights. It suits visitors who want to escape the summer heat and relax.
