Sakcinski\u2019s travel diary from 1850, the settlement is referred to as the town of \u201cBielo Jezero\u201d (White Lake) and the area is called the \u201cBosnian Venice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jezero was mentioned in 1878 as a place of resistance against the Austrian occupation. During the Austro-Hungarian administration, it functioned as a rural municipality under the district of Jajce in Travnik region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The construction of the narrow-gauge railway by Otto Steinbeis in 1913 brought greater significance to Jezero as a transit and loading station. This railway played a key role during World War II but was decommissioned in 1970 due to being unprofitable.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Nature<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12116 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/djol-350x350.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/djol-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/djol-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/djol-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/djol-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Through the center of the municipality, from south to north flows the river Pliva abundant with brown trout. Above the settlement on the eastern side rises the dominating hill Otomalj (1054m of altitude) and at its base there two smaller lakes, Veliki Djol and Mali Djol, connected by the small river Draganovac (particularly fascinating is the circular shape of Veliki Djol and Mali Djol, as perfect examples of natural geometry).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the left side of Pliva a small river named Perucica flows in, and on the west side another small river Jo\u0161avka joins. To the southwest there is the Lisina mountain range, with peaks such as Skok (654m of altitude) and Sinjakovo (1101m). To the north lies Dubrave hill (736m of altitude).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In summer, the lake is a suitable spot for swimmers thanks to its calm and warm waters, but also for fishermen, as it is abundant with pike perch and carp.
