Lake Globocica
Near the villages
Tasmarunista - Globocica in line of 12 kilometres lays the Lake Globocica, rich with
diverse fish species. Unfortunately, this lake is at the verge of an environmental
disaster - the accumulation has been turned into a dump - claim the nearby inhabitants. A
disgusting smell spreads from the lake although evergreen trees have been planted on its
shore. The two illegal dumps near the bridge of River Crn Drim in the villages Lozani and
Dabovjani, are full of rubbish and various waste and all that is taking into the Lake
Globocica. Because of that, the people are disappointed and thinking of leaving the
village. It is high time we save the lake and bring back its old splendor - appeal the
villagers from Tasmarunista.
