Baňur is a small lake in the Stará Ľubovňa district in northern Slovakia.[1] It is located in the Levočské vrchy in the cadastre of the municipality of Jakubany on the southeastern slope of Repiska (1250 m). It is gradually shrinking due to deposits of stones and gravel. Its original area was 0.179 ha, of which approximately 0.0744 ha were removed by deposits. It is elongated from northwest to southeast with a length of 112 m and a maximum width of 25 m. The greatest measured depth is 3.5 m. It was formed by damming the valley of a stream during a landslide in the flysch zone. The name of the lake in the local dialect means deeper water in the river. Locals also call it Ozero.[2]
