Located in the northern part of Montenegro on Mount Durmitor Crno jezero or ‘Black Lake’ is perhaps the most well-known glacial lake in the country, if not the whole region. Surrounded by dense pine forests and rising hills, Black Lake lies at the foot of Međjed Peak, one of the majestic mountains that forms the Dinaric Alps.

This is no ordinary lake: Black Lake is actually made up of two smaller lakes that are connected by a narrow strait. In the summer, the water channel dries up and reveals two separate bodies of water known as Veliko Jezero

The lake is easily accessible from the town of Žabljak. A 3.5-kilometre path circles the lake and is perfect for beginner hikers, especially since a delicious Montenegrin feast always awaits at Katun Restaurant at the end of the trail.
