The Prokljan Lake (Croatian Prokljansko Jezero ) - according to the new nomenclature, the Prokljan Bay (Croatian Prokljanski zaljev ) - with an area of 11.1 km ², the fourth largest lake in Croatia, located between Sibenik and Skradin in the immediate vicinity of the National Park Krka. The tributary is the river Krka, which supplies the lake with fresh water. As the lake is also connected to the Adriatic Sea, flows with the tides and salt water in the lake. It so happens that in the deeper layers mainly salt water is found and in the upper layers rather fresh water. In places, however, this ratio is reversed - and where ground water wells up from the sea floor. Since geographically the attributes for a lake are not met, was decided in 2012 the lake in the future as to entitle Bay - first, official documents, however, use the new titles are still rare (example ) (PDF file, 12.93 MB).
