Skadar Lake is a wild wonder waiting to be explored. Indescribable and in many ways unique, with the size of 391 km2, it is the largest lake on the Balkan Peninsula and it is a crypt o depression, which means that in some parts the bottom of the lake is below sea level. Due to its geographic position and sub Mediterranean climate, it is one of the most important habitats of swamp birds in Europe, right after the river Danube delta. There are around 280 bird species on the lake, including the rare curly pelican, which become a trademark of the National Park. Territory of the lake is a witness to indescribable beauty with its overgrown coast, bays, capes and islands where numerous monasteries, churches and holy monuments are situated.
