Zaovine Lake (Serbian: Заовинско језеро, romanized: Zaovinsko jezero) is an artificial lake in central-west Serbia, on the Tara Mountain. It was created on the Beli Rzav river as a reservoir for the Bajina Bašta II reversible hydro power plant. The lake, with its five bays, has been nicknamed the "Jewel of Tara".[2]
