Black Lake is the largest of 18 glacial lakes of Durmitor mountain massif, so called mountain eyes. It is the last pearl in the necklace of this tour and maybe a perfect moment for you to have a seat on one of many benches around the lake and, surrounded with dense coniferous forest, to sum up all the nice and inspiring memories of this day. The lake lies at the altitude of 1500 m above sea level and actually consists of two lakes that in dry season are separated and in rest of the year connected. Swimming in the lake is possible but it is on your own responsibility.
