Found in the landscape park of Negova, Negovsko lake carries within its depths, as well as on the surface amidst flowers of white lotus, numerous incredible stories. It came to be some 400 years ago, with combining no less than 14 castle ponds, which served a defensive purpose of the Negova castle in the times of Ottoman incursions.

Today only three of the original ponds remain; one of them being Negovsko lake – another one can be seen on the western side of the park, while the third one is near the Negova castle.
