Full description
  • The starting point is Virpazar, from the harbor of this picturesque fishing village on the shore of Lake Skadar National Park. You'll have the opportunity to admire the lush greenery of the river channel that leads us towards the open lake. Before reaching the open lake, we'll make a stop to admire the beautiful mountain ranges of neighboring Albania and the village of Vranjina. After passing under the bridge that carries the main road to Podgorica, on the right side, you'll see the remains of the Lesendro fortress, a very important stronghold for Montenegro's history dating back to the 18th century. Passing by the Lesendro fortress, you'll enjoy the view of the "meadows" of water chestnuts, countless different plants that create a beautiful green and flowery carpet. Observe various bird species leisurely swimming in the water or flying above it as we pass by beautiful islands. You'll have the opportunity to take beautiful photographs to amaze yourself and your friends. On the way back, enjoy unforgettable views of the shores of Lake Skadar and the mountain peaks rising strongly towards the sky, which make Montenegro and Lake Skadar National Park recognizable worldwide. If you wish, you can refresh yourself by swimming in the bluish water before returning to the harbor in Virpazar.
