Black Lake (Crno Jezero), located in the heart of Durmitor National Park, is without a doubt the most popular tourist destination in the north of Montenegro. The crystal-clear waters, surrounded by the stunning mountain scenery, make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. There are many activities available to visitors at Black Lake.
One of the most popular activities is renting a boat. You can rent a boat on Crno Jezero for €10 per hour and explore the lake on your own. Alternatively, you can bring your own boat for a fee of €5 per hour. Fishing is another popular activity at Black Lake, with a daily sports fishing permit costing €20.
If you prefer to stay on land, there are several hiking trails around the lake, including the popular 3.5 km trail that circles the lake. It will take you around 1 hour to make this circle, or a bit longer if you are taking this tour with kids. You will enjoy beautiful views. This is guaranteed.
For those seeking a bit more adventure, there are jeep tours available for €20 per day. These tours take you through the rugged terrain of Durmitor National Park and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
Camping is also allowed around Black Lake, with prices ranging from €3 per day for using the space for setting up a tent to €20 per day for using a well-kept camping space. For those who love a good campfire, fire fighting in specially arranged places is available for €5 per day, with the required amount of wood included.
If you are one of the rare tourist comig during cold winter days you may end up ice sledging. I did it when I was a teenager. Blacklake covered in snow and ice, forest as well. Something to remember.
Black Lake has something for everyone. With its idyllic setting and affordable prices, it’s no wonder why it’s such a popular destination among locals and tourists alike.
