Mostarsko Blato / Mostar Mudfield

Mostarsko Blato is a large seasonal karst field (polje) located near the city of Mostar in Herzegovina.

• It is not a permanent lake, but a seasonally flooded basin.
• During heavy rainfall, the area fills with water and can resemble a shallow lake.
• In dry periods, it becomes grassland and agricultural land.
• It plays an important role in local hydrology, acting as a natural water retention zone.
• The surrounding area is used for farming and grazing, but flooding can significantly affect land use.

In short: it is a dynamic floodplain landscape shaped by karst geology and seasonal water flow.
