To keep and use such a vast amount of water, three reservoirs \u2013 Bajer, Lepenica and Potko\u0161 \u2013 were built in Fu\u017eine.<\/p>\n<p>Bajer was built in the 1950s with the construction of a dam right by the settlement of Fu\u017eine. Located in the once attractive Li\u010danka river valley, the Bajer lake has an average depth ranging from 2 to 7 metres and holds approximately one million cubic metres of water. It is suitable for boat, canoe and kayak rides, as well as sailing thanks to its frequent wind currents. An attractive six-kilometre-long promenade wraps around the Bajer lake, frequented by both hikers and cyclists. Apart from hiking and cycling, you can also take a tourist train or a horse-drawn carriage around the lake.<\/p>\n<p>The lake is swarming with fish, making it a real treat for anglers.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bajer lake is the oldest reservoir of the Fu\u017eine area, immensely rich in water.

Immediately after Crni Lug, in Mrzla Vodica, you will come across two lakes named Mrzlica and Lokvar. The Lokvar lake, also known as the Youth Lake, was created as a result of a dam construction in Lokve in 1954. It guards the original route of the Louisiana road, a state-of-the-art road of the time which connected Rijeka and Karlovac more than 200 years ago, but got flooded due to the accumulation of the Lokvar lake. After cycling uphill to witness the most beautiful view of Risnjak at Ravno Podolje, take the trail downhill to the Lepenica valley. Follow the Lepenica stream to the eponymous lake, which is connected to the Bajer lake in Fu\u017eine. You will also come across the Vrelo cave, hiding a small lake within, thus perfectly rounding off the experience of cycling along the Gorski Kotar lakes. The section ends in Fu\u017eine, a settlement sitting at 730 metres above sea level and surrounded by picturesque mountains, the serenity of centuries-old coniferous forests and gorgeous lakes. For the full experience of Fu\u017eine, we recommend a couple of days' stay.
