By building a dam in Akmačići village on Uvac river in 1979, Uvac or Sjenica Lake came to life. The lake is situated at an altitude of 985 meters and its depth reaches 108 meters. Being 25 km long, this lake cuts through high cliffs creating one of the most beautiful meanders in Balkans.
Uvac or Sjenica Lake is under the protection of the Special Nature Reserve, and under the jurisdiction of both Sjenica and Nova Varoš municipalities. It is abundant in fish.
There are a few observation decks that offer breath-taking views of the Uvac meanders, namely Veliki Vrh and Molitva.
