Ramsko Lake tours and things to do

Morning light lays a silver line across the water. Bays curve between low hills, stone chapels sit on points, and a monastery stands on the peninsula at Šćit. Tracks run to quiet viewpoints and farm lunches, with highland roads to Kupres or Blidinje close by.

Top things to do at Ramsko Lake

Top story from Ramsko
Start with a slow boat across a sheltered bay and watch the shoreline turn green under the bow. Step ashore on the Šćit peninsula for a walk by the monastery walls and a look back over the water. Later, follow a ridge road for a wide view where chapels sit above blue inlets, then pause for thick coffee and local cheese.

If you have more time, add Kupres for meadow tracks or link the day with Blidinje Nature Park for karst, spruce and a ring of peaks. Read more on our Kupres page and our Blidinje Nature Park page. A day here feels unhurried, with easy loops between water, hills and small villages.
