Lake Zavoj – a unique pearl of “Stara planina” (Balkan Mountains) National park. It was formed in 1963, when a big landslide made a natural dam, which was later finished by building an artificial dam. In this process, the villages of Mala Lukanja, Velika Lukanja, and Zavoj disappeared forever. The rock village is located 17 km from Pirot at the upper part of the Visočica river, at a spot called Visok.
