ABOUT THE VENUE

Only 7 km south of the city centre is the Jarun lake also called “Zagreb Sea”. It consists of a 2250 m long regatta course and two lakes – Veliko and Malo (Great and Small), and six islands (Universiade Island, Trešnjevka Island, Rowers’ Island, Croatian Youth Island, Wildlife Island and Love Island). With its cycle tracks, lakes for water sports and sports grounds for team sports, Jarun lake is the largest entertainment centre in Zagreb. Most of the venue facilities were built in 1987 for the World University Games that were held in Zagreb the same year, and partially reconstructed in 2021 for the 2021 World Rowing Cup I. The boat house area is situated on the Southwest end of the racing course and have been in use ever since the course was built.
The area of Jarun is a habitat of diverse fauna (130 species of birds and 29 species of fish).
The lakes are naturally fed by groundwater, which passes through the gravel layers and is thus purified. The average depth of the lake is about 3 m, the average annual water temperature is about 14 °C, and the average summer water temperature is about 24 °C.
Lake Jarun and the regatta course were built in 1986 for the 1987 World University Games (Universiade), where rowing was included for the first time. So far, major competitions have been held on the Jarun regatta course, such as the 1987 World University Games, the 1998 University World Rowing Championships, 1999 World Army Games, 2000 World Rowing Junior and Non-Olympic Senior Championships, 2007 Masters Regatta, 2008 European University Rowing Championships, the 2016 European University Games, and the 2021 World Rowing Cup I.
