The largest lake in the Balkans, shared with Albania, with islands topped by monasteries and fortresses, water lilies and reed beds, and a rich birdlife, including Dalmatian pelicans.


Boat trips leave from Virpazar, a village with a few restaurants serving carp and eel. The Pavlova Strana viewpoint over the horseshoe bend of the Crnojević River is famous. Taste local Vranac wine in the villages. It's about 30 minutes from Podgorica.
