Svrčin lake

About

Svrčin Lake (Serbian, Svrčinsko jezero, Albanian: Liqeni i Svërçinit) was an artificial lake in Kosovo created during the reign of the Nemanjić dynasty, which, in its vicinity, had castles: Štimlje, Pauni, Nerodimlje and Svrčin, located on the island in the lake. Lake was situated in the plain, north form present day Ferizaj. It was made by damming the river bed of Nerodimka river, thus making part of it to flow towards Sitnica.
