Karuč, Traditional fishing hamlet on Lake Skadar, Montenegro
Karuč is a small residential settlement on the shore of Lake Skadar with stone-built houses arranged across sloping terrain down to the water. The dwellings are clustered together, forming a tight community nestled between water and hills.
The settlement began in the early 20th century as a storage site for fishing equipment. Over time, temporary shelters evolved into permanent homes that remain occupied today.
The local fishermen maintain traditional techniques for catching common bleak fish, which they sell fresh at the family-operated restaurants in the area.
You can arrange lodging by contacting local providers or using online booking platforms. The area is easily accessible and welcomes different types of visitors.
The Karučko eye, a deep water source in Lake Skadar near the hamlet, contains large populations of fish, supporting the local fishing industry.
