Skadar Lake
Rijeka Crnojevića — The Postcard Meander & Its Village
Rijeka Crnojevića is the horseshoe river bend you've seen on every Montenegro postcard. The village at the bottom is tiny, quiet and often overlooked in favour of the viewpoint above. Both are worth an hour; the trick is combining them well.
Getting to Skadar Lake from here
You're on the northern arm of the lake system already. Boats depart from the small village pier.
Highlights
- Pavlova Strana viewpoint at first light
- The stone bridge and old customs house in the village
