Plav Lake

Plav, Northeastern Montenegro, Montenegro

---

Plav Lake (Plavsko Jezero) is a beautiful glacial lake located beside the town of Plav in northeastern Montenegro, between the dramatic Prokletije Mountains and the Visitor mountain range.

Formed around 10,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age, it is the largest glacial lake in Montenegro and is renowned for its clear waters and spectacular mountain scenery. The lake is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and cycling. During winter, its surface can freeze, creating a picturesque setting beneath the snow-covered peaks that surround it.

Known as the natural centerpiece of the Plav region, Plav Lake attracts visitors with its peaceful atmosphere, rich biodiversity, and stunning reflections of the mountains, making it one of Montenegro’s most scenic and relaxing destinations.
