Lake Ohrid, that came into being between four to ten million years ago, is Europe's oldest lake, and is amongst the oldest in the world. It is a typical oligotrophic lake, meaning that it contains low levels of nutrients. By its origin the lake is a tectonic one and belongs to the so-called group of Dasaretian lakes (named by an ancient region called Dasaretia). The Lake came about in the tertiary period, prior to the glaciation.
