Skadar Lake Cruise
It doesn’t matter what season it is, every traveler has to experience lake cruising. We are here to help you with that. Skadar Lake has a lot to offer, but we suggest to you routes which are, in our opinion, the most beautiful. All routes begin in Virpazar. This small picturesque town was founded in 19th century and named by whirl (vir), where the locals came by boats to the market place where they were selling their homemade products. Virpazar has around 300 citizens and its located on the delta of rivers Crmnica and Orahovstica, has three bridges with a medieval fortress Besac above it.
3 hours route - We must mention that this route is our favoure, because we visit the most beautiful monastery on Skadar Lake – Monastery Kom. This Monastery is is devoted to the mother of Christ and was built between 1415 and 1427 as a grave church – mausoleum. Honoring the glory and tradition of Crnojevici, Petar II Petrovic Njegos was proclaimed as archimandrite in this monastery in 1831.
Second option can be the route Virpazar - Poseljani. Specific, active route, that includes hiking for about 800m, up to the wonderful watefalls and old abandoned water mills.
