Lake Manjača is a peaceful escape just outside Banja Luka, surrounded by rolling hills and fresh air. It’s not a typical touristy spot, which makes it even better for a quiet family day. We love coming here for picnics; it’s simple, but magical. The wide open space is perfect if you want to let kids run free and enjoy nature without any distractions.

It is close to the town of Stričići, birthplace of Petar Kočić.
