Vasileva Lake (Albanian: Liqeni i Vasilevës) is a small lake between the municipalities of Drenas and Fushë Kosovë. The lake has an area of about 0.2 km2 (0.077 sq mi) and it has a depth of about around 20 meters.[1]
The lake is also rich in flora and fauna and is very suitable for fishing. In this lake there are at least 5 species of wild geese, dozens of species of birds and several species of fish. The grey heron was also spotted on the lake.[2] Over time, a small island has been created in the lake, which is used by fishermen.[3][4]
Vasileva Lake was formed by mining activities and excavation of minerals in the area.
