Jazhincë Lake (Serbian: Велико Јажиначко језеро / Veliko Jažinačko jezero, Albanian: Liqeni Jazhincës) is a mountain lake in Kosovo, found in the eastern part of the Sharr Mountains. The lake is 2,180 m (7,152 ft) above sea level, just under the peak of Peskovi, which reaches a height of 2,651 m (8,698 ft). Its maximum length is 125 m (410 ft) and its maximum width is 90 m (295 ft). On some sides the lake is surrounded by large rocks which makes it ideal for animals to hide or live in.[1][2]
