Lake Biograd

Biograd Lake, located in the heart of the Biogradska Gora National Park, rightfully bears the title of one of the most beautiful jewels of Montenegrin nature and the most famous example of a glacial lake in Montenegro. This lake is located at an altitude of 1,094 meters and is surrounded by one of the last three rainforests in Europe, which gives the whole site a note of mysticism and primordial wilderness that man has almost completely spared from its influence.

The water in the lake is extremely clean, and its surface, like a large natural mirror, faithfully reflects the surrounding hundred-year-old conifers and deciduous trees, whose colors change with the change of seasons – from gentle spring tones, through rich summer greenery, to fiery autumn shades that make the lake a real paradise for photography lovers. Around the entire lake there is a well-maintained hiking trail about three kilometers long, which allows visitors to explore different aspects of this unique ecosystem through a relaxed walk, passing through shady forest parts and opening up a view of the clear mountain water. The lake is fed by water from the Biograd River and numerous streams that flow down from the surrounding mountain peaks of Bjelasica, which makes it extremely rich in oxygen and home to various species of fish. Due to its exceptional natural value, the lake area is under a strict level of protection, which ensures the preservation of this unique habitat for future generations. For the local population of Kolašin and numerous visitors from all over the world, Biograd Lake is a symbol of peace and quiet, a place where you can feel the true power of Bjelasica Mountain and find an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether it is a morning visit when a thick fog rises over the lake, or an afternoon stay when the sun's rays break through the rainforest treetops, the experience offered by Biograd Lake remains deeply etched in the memory of everyone who sets foot on its shores. It is this synergy of water, rainforest and clean mountain air that makes it an unavoidable stop for all nature lovers who want to experience Montenegro in its most original and beautiful form.
