Ram Lake is an artificial lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was created in 1968 by the construction of a dam on the Rama River for the storage of the Rama Hydroelectric Power Plant. The maximum length is 12 kilometers, the area is about 1500 ha, the greatest depth is about 95 meters, while the water oscillations are up to 55 meters. The lake is surrounded by the mountain ranges of Raduša, Makljena, Ljubuša and Vrana. Here is the beginning of the Adriatic basin, the water is very clean and clear. The main inflow is the Rama River, which springs from two strong springs southwest of the Varvara settlement.
The left spring is a summer spring and is constantly present, while the right or winter spring is located upstream. Winter is formed by the melting of snow and ice.
Ramsko Jezero With its purity and beauty, Lake Ramsko is ideal for picnickers, and on hot summer days for swimming. The sight of Ram Lake seems unreal and ranks it among the most beautiful lakes in Europe.
Ram Lake is located in the Gornjoram basin in the north of Herzegovina, in the area of today's Prozor-Rama municipality. It is surrounded by the steep ridge of the Raduša, Makljena, Ljubuša and Vrana massifs.
Although it was created as a result of submergence of the Rama River bed in 1968, the sight of Ram Lake seems unreal and ranks it among the most beautiful lakes in Europe.
Its maximum length is 12 kilometers, the area is about 1500 ha, the greatest depth is about 95 meters, while the water oscillations are up to 55 meters.
Islands and peninsulas give Lake Ram a special, unreal beauty, the most famous of which is the Šćit peninsula, where the Rama-Šćit Franciscan monastery is located.
The Franciscans, who have been active in Bosnia since the end of the 13th century, built the monastery in Rama most likely in the 15th century, before the arrival of the Turks.
Road communication to Ram Lake is available from Prozor via an asphalt road, and from Tomislavgrad, Livno and Split via a new asphalt route opened for traffic in 2006, and from Posušje the lake can be reached via Blidinje, Kedžara and Orašac, areas that are also worth seeing.
Ramsko jezero je svojom čistoćom i ljepotom idealno za izletnike, a u vruće ljetne dane i za kupanje. Prizor Ramskoga jezera čini se nestvarnim i svrstava ga u najljepša jezera u Evropi.
Rasmko Jezero je smješteno u gornjoramskoj kotlini na sjeveru Hercegovine, na području današnje općine Prozor-Rama. Okruženo je strmim vijencem planinskih masiva Raduše, Makljena, Ljubuše i Vrana.
Iako je nastalo kao rezultat potapanja korita rijeke Rame 1968. godine prizor Ramskoga jezera čini se nestvarnim i svrstava ga u najljepša jezera u Evropi.
Njegova maksimalna dužina je 12 kilometara, površina oko 1500 ha, najveća dubina oko 95 metara, dok su oscilacije vode i do 55 metara.
Posebnu, nestvarnu ljepotu, Ramskom jezeru daju ostrva i poluostva, među kojima je najpoznatije poluostrvo Šćit, gdje se nalazi Franjevački samostan Rama-Šćit .
Franjevci, koji u Bosni djeluju od kraja 13. vijeka, podigli su samostan u Rami najvjerojatnije u 15. vijeku, prije dolaska Turaka.
Cestovna komunikacija do Ramskog jezera postoji iz Prozora asfaltnom cestom, te iz Tomislavgrada, Livna i Splita novom asfaltnom trasom otvorenom za promet 2006. godine, a iz Posušja se do jezera stiže preko Blidinja, Kedžare i Orašca, predjela koje također vrijedi vidjeti.
