Next ravishing view: Vranjina Island and the Albanian Alps towering over the fresh waters
Admire the marvellous sight of the faraway Albanian Alps (so-called Accursed Mountains) and Vranjina, the nearest island that defiantly emerges from the sparkling waters of one of the largest lakes in Southern Europe. The view awaits you when you exit the river canal.
Discover Lesendro: the key of Lake Skadar
We will make a turn left and pass under the Tanki Rt bridge. Within moments, as we sail through the meadows of water chestnuts, you will discover the 18th-century Lesendro fortress, famously known as "Njegošes sorrow".
Lesendro is a historic fortress located in Montenegro on the shores of Lake Skadar. It was built in the 18th century during the reign of Prince-Bishop Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, a prominent figure in Montenegrin history and literature. Aside from its historical significance, Lesendro is also renowned for its abundance of birdlife. The area surrounding the fortress is a popular spot for birdwatching, with cormorants, herons, and gulls among the many species you can see. The reason for this lies in the proximity of the Morača River, the largest tributary of Lake Skadar and an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area.
