Imotski

Hidden among the mountains are Red and Blue Lake.  Dry stone and the abundance of water trapped in stone makes Imotski seem like a mirage. 

This is Red Lake.  Even though the water is blue, it is called Red Lake because of the red rock that surrounds the lake. 
 Blue Lake is a funnel shaped crater sitting at the edge of the old town.  It is between 300 to 500m deep.
 Steep, rocky slope that surrounds the lake.
 You can hike down to the lake and swim.  It is a popular swimming hole.
The Old Fort at the top of the mountain.  You can see the flag flying.

 We hiked up to the Old Fort Topana.
