Palić Lake and its surrounding area are an ideal choice for those who wish to relax while also exploring nature and culture.
Palić Lake is one of the region's most renowned natural landmarks. The lake spans an area of approximately 4.5 km² and has a unique atmosphere, as the landscape beautifully combines the elements of water and lush greenery. The promenades and parks surrounding the lake offer perfect spots for long walks, running, or cycling, and provide a particularly stunning panorama during sunset. Walking along the lake, visitors can also discover the rich plant and animal life preserved in the local protected areas.
The area offers a great deal of programs and opportunities. For water sports enthusiasts, Palić Lake is an excellent place for relaxation and active water experiences such as canoeing, kayaking, boat tours, pedal boating, or fishing.
The path between Palić Park and the water tower is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to relax in a peaceful, picturesque environment and explore one of the city's most iconic architectural landmarks. Before heading to the water tower, it's worth stopping for a while to admire various parts of the park, such as the view of the lake, the pavilions, and the local wildlife. The park is home to a variety of plants and animals, so you may even spot birds during your walk. The water tower, with its impressive Art Nouveau style, immediately draws attention. It is an important architectural heritage and a true symbol of the city. The central part of the tower holds a massive, oval-shaped reservoir, which once provided water to the surrounding area. The tower's top also contains a small observation deck.
For children and families, the Palić Zoo offers a great program with its colorful and diverse animal world. The zoo is open year-round and is especially popular during the summer months when visitors can spend more time outdoors.
The local restaurants and cafés offer wonderful opportunities to enjoy delicious food and drinks after a relaxing day, while taking in the scenic views of the lake and its surroundings.
