Boračko jezero is a natural mountain lake in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, located within the Konjic area and set against the Prenj mountain range. It is a modest-sized freshwater lake and a local recreational spot rather than a large regional reservoir.
The lake offers swimming, angling and short lakeside walks; there are small beaches and picnic spots along parts of the shore that attract day visitors. Water access and facilities are limited, so most visits occur in warmer months.
Formed by natural geological processes typical of mountain basins, the lake has been used historically by nearby villages for local fishing and recreation. There have been no major structural modifications known to significantly alter its natural shoreline.
The lake sits at the foot of the Prenj massif in central Bosnia and Herzegovina, within Konjic municipality. It is reached by local roads from the Neretva valley and nearby settlements and lies in a mountainous landscape popular for day trips from towns in the region.
- Summer recreation: Popular for swimming, angling and short hikes around the shore; most recreational use is concentrated in late spring to early autumn.
