Kaluđerovac got its name after ‘Kaluđer‘ – the local monk (hermit) who used to spend his time in the cave above the lake (Šupljara cave)

Situated in the steepest part of the canyon, bordered by cliffs, some of them more than forty (40) meters high, from where there are some good places to enjoy the views, the lake is abundant with various fish species.

At the end of the lake, there is a two meters high small reed covered plateau / travertine barrier, where there is a wooded path under which the water flows down into next lake – Novakovića Brod (see areal photo) .
