Skadar Lake National Park

Lake Skadar, also called Lake Scutari, is on the border of Montenegro with Albania and is the largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula. It is named after the city of Shkodra in northern Albania.
Lake Skadar is filled by the Moraca River and drained into the Adriatic by the Bojana River, which forms the international border on the lower half of its length.
The breathtaking National Park, surrounding the lake, was formed by glaciers and is traversed by rivers and underground streams. Along the Tara river canyon, which has the deepest gorges in Europe, the dense pine forests are interspersed with clear lakes and harbour a wide range of endemic flora.
The National Park is one of the largest bird reserves in Europe, having 270 bird species, among which are some of the last pelicans in Europe, and thus popular with birders. The lake also contains habitats of seagulls and herons and is abundant in fish, especially in carp, bleak and eel.
