Šas Lake
Šasko jezero
A tranquil lake near the Albanian border, with the medieval ruins of Svač nearby. Good for birdwatching and lake fish.
Šasko Jezero lies about 15 km northeast of Ulcinj and connects to the Bojana River by a waterway. Surrounded by reeds and farmland, it is a habitat for migratory birds, cormorants and herons. Lakeside restaurants serve carp and eel. On a hill above the lake are the ruins of Svač, a medieval town that was once a bishopric and was destroyed in the 13th century. The remaining church and city walls can be reached on foot by a dirt track, offering lake views. Public transport is limited, so you'll need a car or a taxi, and road conditions are fair. There are no facilities at the ruins, so bring sun protection in summer.
