Bird lake

Hundreds of bird species nest on the shores of Lake Skadar and just as many choose it as a stopover during seasonal migrations.
- Fans of ancient architecture and history will love a guided tour of the ancient monasteries built along the shores of the lake between the 14th and 15th centuries. One of the cloisters - the Kom monastery - has been in operation since the first third of the 15th century and up to now.
- Boat excursions organized by locals are the most popular visas for educational holidays in this Montenegrin nature reserve.
- In summer, you can swim and sunbathe on the beaches on the lake shores - the season lasts from May to mid-September.
