Discovering Skadar Lake hinterlands in the morning. Different type of surroundings compared to mountainous north of the country and secluded stone village with a very unique story. After the 3h hike and potential swimming in the waterfalls, we hit the boat to explore the Lake from the water and learn about vast diversity of birds that inhabit these wetlands. Story of Skadar Lake cannot come without winemaking tradition so for lunch you’ll get to visit one of the best wineries in the region where you’ll get to try different types of red wine, but also homemade liquors and juices. We saved the best for the end which would be some carp, eel and other lake speciality dishes prepared on the beach, barbecue style with a glass of wine.
