The Blue Lake, located in the picturesque area of the Durmitor massif, is one of the hidden gems of the mountain, which with its specific beauty and peace attracts true connoisseurs of the Durmitor wilderness. Although its dimensions do not match the largest glacial lakes, the Blue Lake attracts attention with its crystal clear water, which, depending on the depth and angle at which the sun's rays fall on it, takes on unique bluish and blue tones, from which, it is believed, it got its name.
This lake is located in a spacious valley, surrounded by rocky peaks and pastures, which gives it the appearance of a forgotten corner where time seems to have stopped. The surroundings of Blue Lake are bare and harsh, typical of the high Durmitor regions, but it is precisely this contrast between the gray stone and the deep color of the water that creates a scene that is particularly attractive for mountaineers and photography lovers. Unlike lakes that are surrounded by dense forest, Blue Lake is open to the sky, which allows visitors to fully feel the vastness and smell of the mountain air that flows freely here. The trails that lead to this lake require a certain level of fitness and experience, which means that it is visited mainly by those who are ready to make an effort to enjoy the untouched beauty of the remote parts of Durmitor. For many hikers, Blue Lake is an unavoidable point during a tour of the Durmitor peaks, a place where you can take a break with a refreshing view of the water and the surrounding massifs. This place is not only a natural phenomenon but also an important part of the ecological system of the park, where the life of rare plant and animal species takes place in complete silence. Its beauty is not intrusive; it is revealed gradually, to those who have the patience to look for it. Blue Lake remains a witness to the primal power of nature, reminding every visitor how rich the Montenegrin mountains are with secrets waiting to be discovered through research, respect and love for the wild.
