Jazhincë Lake (Albanian: Liqeni i Jazhincës; Serbian: Велико Јажиначко језеро, Veliko Jažinačko jezero) is a mountain lake in Republic of Kosovo, found in the eastern part of the Šar Mountains. Big Jažinačko 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.
