Lake Skadar National Park

Lake Skadar National Park Essentials

Lake Skadar, the largest lake in the Balkans, is a significant wetland habitat and historical hub. This selection highlights the 15th-century Besac and Lesendro fortresses, the island prison of Grmožur, and medieval Orthodox monasteries like Kom and Starčevo. Natural landmarks include the Pavlova Strana viewpoint, which overlooks the Rijeka Crnojevića horseshoe bend, and the freshwater beach at Murići. The National Park Information Centre in Vranjina provides context for the park’s diverse ecosystems and cultural heritage.
