General presentation
Lake Skadar and Virpazar
Large lake shared with Albania, reeds, villages, meanders, birds, monasteries and panoramic roads around Virpazar.
The discovery of Lake Skadar and Virpazar revolves around Virpazar, Rijeka Crnojevića and Pavlova Strana. The stay thus alternates between the shores and the lakes, wetlands, natural areas and the countryside, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: summer heat and mosquitoes possible. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake Village
Virpazar
Virpazar serves as a small base to discover the Skadar lake, its boats, bridges and roads that go up towards the viewpoints. The village is compact but convenient to organize an exit on the water.
Belvedere
Pavlova Strana
Pavlova Strana offers one of the most legible views on Rijeka Crnojevića's meanders and the humid landscape of the lake. The road requires attention, but the stop gives a true understanding of the scale of the area.
Nature and birds
Lac de Skadar
Lake Skadar combines reeds, villages, monasteries, birds and low hills in a very different atmosphere from the coast. An early morning or late day exit better reveals light and wildlife.
