Lake Plav, Glacial lake in Plav Municipality, Montenegro
Lake Plav extends 2160 meters between the Visitor and Accursed Mountains ranges, reaching a width of 920 meters at an elevation of 906 meters.
The lake formed through glacial processes during the last ice age, approximately 10,000 years ago, becoming the largest glacial lake in Montenegro.
The Ottoman architectural heritage near Lake Plav includes the Redzepagic Tower and an old mosque from 1471 along the shoreline.
Visitors can engage in swimming, kayaking, and fishing activities during summer months, while winter transforms the lake into a natural ice skating surface.
Multiple limestone caverns and underground springs feed the lake, which serves as the source for the Lim River system.
