Black Lake (Crno jezero)
Crno jezero
Durmitor's best-known glacial lake, mirroring the twin peaks of Međed. A 3.5 km loop trail circles it, and it is just a half-hour walk from the town of Žabljak.
Black Lake is made up of two lakes joined together. In dry seasons a neck of land between them is exposed. The lakes are surrounded by dense spruce forest. The loop trail is gentle and takes about an hour. Boats can be rented on the lake, and a restaurant serves trout. This is also the starting point for longer hikes to the Ice Cave (Ledena pećina) and Bobotov Kuk. Entry costs about €3 and is bought at the entrance. Summer daytime is busy; early morning or evening is quietest.
Opening hours
Open all day (entrance ticketing about 7:00–19:00)
