NP Skadarsko Lake

National Park: Skadarsko Lake

Skadar/Scadar/Scutari Lake is located in the so called Zeta-Skadar valley that partly belongs to the municipality of the city of Bar and partly to the municipality of the city of Podgorica. Indescribable and in many ways unique, with the size of 391km2, it is the larges lake on the Balkan Peninsula. Driving through the newly build Sozina tunnel, the lake is only a short 20 minute drive away from the Adriatic Sea. The river Bojana creates a connection between Skadar/Scadar/Scutari Lake and the Adriatic Sea though a large mountain massive that separates the two. Two thirds of the lake belongs to Montenegro, while one third belongs to the Republic of Albania. The Montenegrin part of the lake, at a size of 40000 hectares, was declared a National Park in 1983.

The most pronounced difference between Skadar/Scadar/Scutari Lake and the other three national parks is its exceptional richness of ornithofauna and ichtyofauna, as well as abundant marsh vegetation. Skadar/Scadar/Scutari Lake represents one of the most interesting habitats of this region.
