Trnovačko Lake

1h
Admission ticket included

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Trnovačko Lake, a true natural wonder nestled high in the Dinaric Alps, straddling the border of Montenegro and Bosnia. This iconic, heart-shaped lake is a sight to behold, famed for its mesmerizing turquoise waters and stunning mountainous backdrop. The scenic hike to Trnovačko Lake takes you through pristine wilderness, offering panoramic views before you reach its serene shores. Once there, immerse yourself in the crystal-clear, refreshing waters for an unforgettable wild swim experience. The lake's tranquil setting is perfect for relaxation, photography, or simply soaking in the immense natural grandeur. Please note: This is a hard, demanding full-day hike, typically lasting 8-10 hours when approached from the Montenegrin side. It is suitable only for fit hikers with previous mountain experience and requires correct mountain gear. Connect with nature and create lasting memories at one of the Balkans' most enchanting destinations.

Piva Canyon (Pass by)

As part of your journey to Trnovačko Lake, you'll be treated to stunning views as we drive past the magnificent Piva Lake and Dam. Carved into the rugged landscape of Montenegro, Piva Lake, also known as Piva Canyon or Piva Reservoir, is an artificial lake created by the towering Mratinje Dam. The lake itself is renowned for its incredible turquoise-blue waters, which stand in stark contrast to the dramatic, steep cliffs of the Piva River canyon. This vibrant color is a visual spectacle, particularly on sunny days. The immense Mratinje Dam, one of Europe's highest concrete arch dams, is an engineering marvel that holds back these vast waters. The scenic drive along the lake's winding roads offers numerous photo opportunities and a breathtaking introduction to Montenegro's wild beauty before your mountain adventure begins.

Mratinje

4h

The hike to Trnovačko Lake from the Mratinje area is a truly demanding mountain challenge, perfect for those seeking a strenuous adventure. The journey begins with a steep, sustained climb, winding its way up towards a high mountain pass. This initial ascent is long and requires significant effort, rewarding you with increasingly expansive views as you gain elevation. Upon reaching the pass, the trail then presents an equally steep and challenging descent down to the breathtaking shores of Trnovačko Lake. While the sight of the heart-shaped lake is a powerful motivator, hikers must conserve energy, as this same steep descent becomes a strenuous climb on the return journey. This is not a casual stroll; it's a demanding round-trip hike that tests endurance and requires strong physical fitness and proper mountain gear. Prepare for a full day of rewarding effort amidst the raw beauty of the Dinaric Alps.
