Bukumirsko jezero, Glacial lake in Kučke Planine, Montenegro

The lake stretches 210 meters in length and 130 meters in width, reaching depths between 13 to 16 meters at an elevation of 1,448 meters.

The lake formation occurred through glacial processes, leaving behind a water body surrounded by the peaks of Surdup at 2,184 meters and Štitan at 2,147 meters.

The lake holds connections to Marko Miljanov Popović, who contributed to liberating the Kuči tribe from Turkish rule in the nineteenth century.

Visitors can reach the lake via the road from katun Mokro to Brskut, with the northern side presenting rocky terrain and the southern edge offering gentle slopes.

The lake waters contain the endemic triton species, scientifically named tritus alpestis montenegrinus, which bears resemblance to a miniature crocodile.

Elevation above the sea: 1,448 m

GPS coordinates: 42.60472,19.55472
