Overview of the tour 

 SKADAR LAKE TOURS

BIRD WATCHING ON SKADAR LAKE

  • Bird watching -The greatest number of species can be seen during the spring months of April, May and June. In winter months can be seen large flocks of migratory birds. Characteristic for autumn is a picture of long chains of birds flying over the lake.
    You can see the Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus), a symbol of Skadar Lake. It is the largest bird, known for its long beak and a large throat pouch used for catching prey and draining water from the scooped-up contents before swallowing.
  • Dodoši village - an ancient fishing village with rich history, located by the Karatuna River. Initially an agricultural settlement, its proximity to the lake soon shifted the focus from agriculture to fishing. The village is peppered with stone houses dating from the XVI century, and is famous for its ambiance and good national food and rakia.
