Piva Lake

Pivsko jezero, Piva Lake
Montenegro, Zabljak
Lake Piva, famous for its purest water, is located on the Piva River at an altitude of 675 m above sea level. After the construction of the dam of the Mratinje (Mratinje) power plant in 1975, 220 meters high, the level of the river upstream rose significantly and a lake was formed with an area of ​​112.5 km² and a length of 46 km, the second largest in Montenegro. As a result, the village of Stary Pluzhine went under water, then in a new place, to accommodate the workers of the power plant, a new city of Pluzhine was built, and the Piva Monastery of the 16th century was also dismantled and moved to a higher place.
Since the water does not warm up above 22 °C even on the hottest day, Lake Piva is rich in fish, especially trout. Boating on the lake is popular among tourists, with a stop for a picnic in one of its picturesque places.

Piva Lake or Piva River Canyon. We got there by car, we decided to stop by spontaneously, because we planned to go to Durmitor and to the more famous canyon of the Tara River, after conferring, we decided to make a circle through Pluzhine, which no one regretted. There are no crowds of tourists, because this place is not included in the program of excursion tours in the canyons of Montenegro. A wonderful picturesque place. The color of the water is simply mesmerizing. If I had time, I would have stayed overnight to enjoy nature.
