About Biogradska Gora National Park & Lake Biograd
Biogradska Gora, Montenegro’s smallest national park, covers 5,650 hectares of the Bjelasica range and shelters one of Europe’s last primeval forests, with trees over 40 metres tall and up to 500 years old. The forest has been protected since 1878. At its heart lies Lake Biograd, Montenegro’s largest mountain lake, with a shoreline path, boats, kayaks, a campsite, cottages and a visitor centre, and five more glacial lakes to seek out beyond. Walk the full circuit of the lake, then reward yourself with a raspberry dessert at the lakeside restaurant.
