Skadar Lake, Durmitor and Kotor’s bay landscape
On Skadar Lake, a regular passenger-and-cargo service ran from 1885 to 1981. Durmitor combines a glacier-shaped limestone landscape with medieval stećci and Tara Valley monasteries; at the inner end of Kotor Bay, the old town lies between the sea, the Škurd and Sveti Ivan hill.

A place worth remembering
A lake route displaced by land links
The steamer Žabljak began Skadar Lake’s regular passenger-and-cargo service in 1885. Road and rail links built across the lake in the 1960s gradually reduced boat transport; the park account says regular service ended in 1981, 96 years after it began, with the liquidation of the Galeb shipping company.[1]
