Radoniqi Lake

A man-made lake named Radoniqi Lake may be found in the Gjakova municipality. The lake is the second largest in Kosovo in terms of area at 5.96 km2. It was made in the 1980s and given the name "Radoniqi" for the town that once stood where the lake was made. Around 214,000 people receive their drinking water from the lake, which also serves the municipalities of Gjakova (which has 44 villages), Rahovec (which has eight villages), and Prizren (which has 20 villages). It is Kosovo's second-largest lake with a surface area of 5.62 square kilometers and a volume of 113 million cubic meters. There used to be a village beneath this lake in the 1980s. The settlement, however, had to be buried under this man-made lake during construction. Naturally, after this occurred, the residents left the town. The very top of a church can be seen at various times of the year when the tide is low because it is still standing. The locals near the lake are well aware of this fact. However, not many visitors are familiar with this lake's entire history.


Swimming is not permitted in this lake because it serves as a significant portion of Gjakova territory's drinking water source. Around Lake Radoniq, there are more than 30 places to stay for a vacation. This lake is the perfect location for someone who wants to unwind and take in the scenery because of the crystal clear water and stunning surroundings. Visit Radoniq Lake, one of the best lakes to visit in Kosovo, while you're on vacation.
