The deep emerald water lake emerges amidst a beautifully surreal, untouched landscape. Known as The Eye of the Earth, or the Cetina Lake, it is a magnificent natural wonder gifted to Croatia by Mother Nature.
This unique body of water is actually the source of the Cetina River, beginning from a spring in Milasevo near a small village called Cetina, 7km north of Vrlika, and is the richest watercourse in Dalmatia, flowing at the foot of Dinara, the highest mountain in Croatia.

The river flows out of a deep cave approximately 115 meters deep and 15 meters in diameter. The water is crystal clear, making it a basic source of drinking water in the area.
