Zemra Lake, Mountain lake in Prokletije range, Kosovo.
Zemra Lake sits in the Prokletije mountain range at an elevation of about 2,289 feet (2,289 meters) near Gusan's peak. The water body spans roughly 150 meters in length and 120 meters in width, filling a high-altitude basin.
The lake formed through natural processes in the Prokletije range over ancient times and has remained a constant feature. It has long served as a recognized marker for those traveling through these remote mountains.
The name Liqeni i Zemrës comes from Albanian and means "Heart Lake". For hikers, this water body serves as a natural landmark while crossing the high mountain terrain.
Visitors must use well-equipped hiking trails to reach this high-altitude basin, as the approach is steep and demanding. Those arriving should be prepared for changeable weather and rapid temperature shifts in the mountains.
The lake sits just a few hundred meters from the Kosovo-Albania border and serves as a key navigation point for those crossing the region. Visitors passing through often do not realize it functions as an internationally recognized border marker.
