Highlight • Lake

There are some street dogs at home at the lake. There was never any trouble with them; they were more happy to accompany the hikers.

At this point you can go into the water and refresh yourself.
Riding a bike around the Crno Lake is a small challenge and a little knowledge is a prerequisite. S0- S3
Everything included. But watch out for many hikers

You should not walk around the second lake without sturdy shoes. The path is difficult to walk a lot of roots, stones and rocks stairs that go steep gout.

Even the laziest tourists can make it to Crno Jezero, but the circuit does at least offer a section with rope protection!

We visited the black lake in mid-October and were incredibly lucky with the weather, 24°C and pure ☀️. The lake is really beautiful with the mountain panorama in the background and is easy to walk around. However, it is not a smooth path, it is covered with lots of roots and stones, especially on the side facing the mountains, and …

The entrance to the Park for the lake is an ideal paved road for people with reduced mobility. The view is splendid, access to the banks. The tour of the lake is not possible in a wheelchair but even the late lips will appreciate the well shaded banks, and the freshness of the water. A source also on the Course.

Beautiful hike around the deepest lakes of Durmitor National Park. However, the paths were very icy at that time of year and sometimes difficult to manage. It is even more impressive when the lakes are not frozen, but the surrounding mountains are reflected in them.

A beautiful and serene lake in the middle of the forest. It offers a lovely hike around it that takes about 2 hours. It even offers one spot where one has to climb with a rope, but it is all doable. Bring your own snacks with to enjoy some glowing time in the sun's beams.

Very nice route around the lake and through the forest. We started at 7.30. Before all the hustle and bustle and in the cool of the morning. You can park in the parking lot that you see in google maps.

This is a loop of the lake anti-clockwise from the drop off point of the little train, then one way back to town. The timing is misleading as I ran as well as hiked.

September 26, 2022,🇲🇪 Zabljak - Schwarzer See (Durmitor-Nationalpark)

The Durmitor National Park offers everything you could wish for over 390 square kilometers: high mountains, caves, waterfalls, deep gorges, glacial lakes...
In 1980 it was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Rightly so!

Nearby our first accommodation in Zabljak you can take a hike around the beautiful Black Lake. Unfortunately, today was very rainy, which luckily you can't …
