Pavlova Strana Viewpoint

About

Lake Skadar National Park features the largest lake in the Balkans, and it is one of Europe’s largest bird reserves. It is popular among birdwatchers, hikers, and nature photographers for its untouched wilderness and unspoiled views of Mount Maranaj. The Crnojevica River runs through the national park and feeds into Lake Skadar, a karst lake fed mostly by underground freshwater springs. The Pavlova Strana Viewpoint is in the northwest corner of the national park and offers the best view of the Crnojevica River. This rocky outcropping sits high above the wilderness and provides panoramic views of the horseshoe bend in the Crnojevića River as it snakes through lush, green hills before merging with the vast lake. Time your visit for the early evening for vibrant hues of red and orange as the sun is just beginning to set over the horizon.
