Discover the tranquil wonders of Lake Skadar as you glide across its pristine waters. Indulge in the flavours of local wine while meandering through the breathtaking landscapes that adorn the lake. Immerse yourself in the serenity of the water while surrounded by majestic mountain ranges, and delve into the captivating stories and rich history of Lake Skadar.
Begin in Virpazar, the main gateway to Lake Skadar. Sail along a tiny river channel and observe birds catch the fish and soar through the sky. Exit the river and discover the vast blue waters of Lake Skadar, the far-away mountains of Albania, and Vranjina, along with its two peaks.
Glide through the meadows of water chestnuts and discover the ruins of Lesendro, the 18th-century fortress and the Key of Lake Skadar. These ruins and their bird visitors will treat you to a stunning view. Feel the fresh air rush through your body as you reach Lake Skadar's largest tributary, the Morača River.
Continue your journey in the direction of the three islands – Mala Čakovica, Velika Čakovica, and Kamenik. Have your breath taken away by the view these islets hide. Marvel at the thousands of water lilies, a mesmerising sight, covering the lake's surface with their dark green leaves.
Sights to follow will satisfy your traveller's thirst as well. As you sail along the picturesque fjord Pavlova strana, you will reach Rijeka Crnojevića, a small fishing village. Explore this beautiful spot, situated only a few kilometres from the historical capital of Cetinje.
The old stone bridge, named after Prince Danilo, will be the first to welcome you, next to the one-story building built on the left shore of the river. You can't overlook it – it lies at the entrance of this beautiful townlet, and although built in the 15th century, it still looks impressive, a testament to the region's rich history.
After exploring the village, it's time to go back. In the meantime, please bring your swimming costume! Take the opportunity to enjoy the refreshing waters of Lake Skadar.
