Lake Biograd – a pearl in the north of Montenegro

It is located in the heart of Biogradska gora National Park, surrounded by untouched nature that is enchanting to the eye and beneficial to the ears. This is Lake Biograd – one of the most precious natural resources of Montenegro.

Lake Biograd was formed by melting snow and rain that collects in the crater in the southwestern part of the Biogradska gora National Park. It is extremely clean and has zero pollution. With an area of 0.5 square kilometers and a depth of up to 12 meters, the lake stands out as a hidden refuge for a variety of fauna and flora. It is located at an altitude of 1094 meters not far from Kolašin.

This beautiful lake provides a home for numerous plant species that can only be found in this part of the world. Around the lake grows a lush forest dominated by the eagle, a species that has become a symbol of the Biogradska gora National Park. This forest is one of the last remaining European rainforests and is more than 500 years old.

Lake Biograd is also a habitat for many animal species, including wild boars, roe deer, bears, and rare species of fish. For ornithologists, this is a paradise destination, as the lake attracts various species of birds, including eagles and herons, and their habitat is extremely important.
