Skadar Lake National Park is, undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful national parks and one of the trademarks of Montenegro. The Montenegrin part of the lake (40 000 ha) was proclaimed a national park in 1983. Its size of 391 km2 makes it the biggest lake of the Balkan Peninsula. Skadar Lake is widely famous for all the richness of flora and fauna, with more than 100 very rare or endangered species. Over 930 types of algae and 280 bird species make Skadar Lake one of the most popular plants and animal habitats. A boat ride (that bonds you directly to the fruitful cultural and religious heritage of Montenegro), traditional cuisine, the wild natural beauty, and pelicans are just one part of all the beautiful sights arising before you in the National park. Additionally, you will visit a small fishing settlement Virpazar that offers peace and hospitality, in spite of the fact that there are no more than 337 people living there
