Prozor and Ramsko Lake are the northernmost points in Herzegovina. Both Catholics and Muslims inhabit this area. Ramsko Lake is home to Sit Island where the House of Peace at the Franciscan monastery Rama-Scit welcomes guests who are looking for peace and quiet, a bit of counseling or just a day of fishing on the lake.
The area is lush and green and offers great fishing, boating, walking and hiking and an interesting look at village life in the surrounding hills.
Ramsko Lake was made on 1968. Its maximum length is 12 km, size about 1500 ha, and depth is 95 m.
With approximately 7000 inhabitants, a few cozy coffee bars serving good cakes and cheap coffee Prozor itself is not that interesting; however, the surrounding nature is truly amazing, especially Ramsko Jezero (Ramsko lake). This artificial lake, not far from the city, is one of many hidden natural beauties in Bosnia. It has been drizzling the entire day, thus all hills are surrounded by steam, producing a fairytale-like atmosphere. The lake is surrounded by small villages built against hills and nested below snow-capped mountains.
Just down the road from Prozor is the village of Duge, meaning Rainbow.Duge is blessed with an immense water supply and a powerful waterfall called Duge Falls. It is called Rainbow because as the water plummets over 30m to the rocks below the mist mixes with the rays of the sun and almost always creates a rainbow.
In this incredibly peaceful place where warbling birds and nature take over, you can hardly imagine a war took place here only less than two decades ago. For 15 minutes you can not do anything but gazing at the lake and let. Ramsko Lake is one of the most beautiful places you will ever visit.
If you want peace and quiet, look no further - Ramsko Lake will meet your needs. The local villagers are very kind and getting off into the hills you'll find fascinating Catholic villages where women still dress in traditional attire and practice the ancient ritual of tattooing crosses on their hands, arms and even foreheads.
