Virpazar – Skadar Lake

Virpazar is a town settlement in the municipality of Bar in Montenegro. Virpazar is a fairy-tale place where guests can find what they need most: a fountain with spring water, the shade of old and tall plane trees, organic food and friendly hosts.

Skadar Lake is the largest lake on the Balkan Peninsula (391 km2). 2/3 of Lake Skadar belongs to Montenegro, while 1/3 is on the territory of the Republic of Albania. The Montenegrin part of the lake with the shore was declared a National Park in 1983. Lake Skadar is a crypto depression, because some of its parts are below sea level. Since Lake Skadar is the largest bird reserve in Europe, bird lovers can enjoy watching them. The cultural and historical significance of the island on Lake Skadar is enormous.
