“…Upravo na ovoj rasjednoj zoni formirani su ponori, odnosno ponorna zona kod Ivan Doca u koju je, prije začepljivanja, otjecala voda ovoga drenažnog bazena. Osim tektonike, kao glavnog uzročnika nastanka ove ponorne zone, njezinu and the fact that its bottom is filled with glacial material, it can be considered a Piedmont type of karst polje (Gams, 1973(Gams, , 1978Stepišnik et al, 2016).…”

“…), praslavensko blyjo srodno je s grčkim flio (izvirem, vrijem), lat. fluo (tečem), flumen (rijeka) što je u južnoslavenskoj toponimiji rezultiralo brojnim nazivima za blatišta izvedena called Blidinje can be considered a karst polje of the piedmont type (Gams, 1978;Ford, Williams, 2007;Stepišnik et al, 2016). It is known that a number of karst poljes are commonly flooded in the colder and more humid part of the year, and in the area of the Dinarides this period lasts from October to April (Bonacci, 1987(Bonacci, , 2004.…”

“…North, south and west edges of the lake are built of Lower Cretaceous strata, while the Jurassic strata are dominant in the remaining area. When it comes to other layers, solely the Eocene flysch strata on the south of peak Vilinac on the mountain Čvrsnica stand out (Mojićević, Laušević, 1973;Raić, Papeš, 1978;Buljan et al, 2005;Stepišnik et al, 2016) (Fig. 21).…”

“…U. Stepišnik et al (2016) suggest that there is an abrasion terrace 7 meters above today's surface of the lake. It is probably related to a post-pleistocene lake that existed in the lowest part of this depression, but cannot be related to the existing lake.…”

Blidinjsko jezero, ili učestalije zvano samo Blidinje, najveće je planinsko jezero u Bosni i Hercegovini. Nalazi se u Hercegovini, između planina Vrana i Čvrsnice, na nadmorskoj visini od oko 1180 metara. U nekim publikacijama navodi se kao jezero ledenjačkog postanka. Iako oko jezera nesumnjivo postoje dokazi postojanja ledenjaka i ledenjačkog reljefa, morfologija jezerskog dna i obala, promjenjivost površine, ali i brojni zabilježeni izvori o postanku jezera dovode u pitanje teoriju o glacijalnom postanku jezera. Cilj ovog rada je, na temelju kartografskih izvora prostornih podataka, povijesnih zapisa, geomorfološke analize, postojeće literature te intervjua s lokalnim stanovništvom, utvrditi kada i na koji način je nastalo Blidinje jezero. U radu će biti korištene metode analize dostupnih pisanih i usmenih izvora, geomorfološke analize, zatim analize starih karata, kao i analiza toponimije. Na postojećim povijesnim i suvremenim kartama izvedeno je i mjerenje površine jezera u GIS okruženju. Na temelju svih dostupnih podataka osporit će se teorija o glacijalnom nastanku jezera te će se istovremeno iznijeti dokazi da je jezero nastalo radom ljudi krajem 19. stoljeća.Ključne riječi: Blidinjsko jezero, Blidinje, Dugo polje, postanak jezera, Hercegovina, PoljáBlidinje lake, or more commonly just Blidinje, is the biggest mountain lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is situated in Herzegovina, between the mountains Vran and Čvrsnica, at an altitude of approximately 1,180 m. Some publications refer to it as a glacial lake. Although undoubtedly there is evidence of the prior existence of glaciers and glacial relief in the area around the lake, the morphology of the lake's bottom and shores, changeability of the surface, and a number of records on the lake's origin challenge the theory of the lake's glacial origin. The aim of this paper is to use cartographic sources of spatial data, historical records, geomorphological analysis, existing literature and interviews with the local population in order to determine how and when Blidinje lake was formed. The methods used in the paper are the analysis of the available written and oral sources, geomorphological analysis, the analysis of old maps, and the analysis of toponymy. The existing historical and contemporary maps were used to perform lake surface measuring in GIS environment. All data acquired were used to disprove the glacial origin theory and to provide evidence that the lake was formed artificially by the end of the 19th century.
