Crno Jezero

No biking today but not as lazy one either. We took a walk to one of the largest glacial lakes here in the Durmitor National Park, known as Crno Jezero or black Lake. It was about 5-6 mile round trip and fairly rough going around the lake itself. there are actually two lakes, the small one above and the large one alongside. As you see the water level wasn't high but nonetheless the place was beautiful and serene. There were few people there no traffic and silence apart from the cawing of crows and the splash of fish as they leapt sometimes a couple of feet in the air. The colours were intense. The bright green of the marsh grass, dark green of the pine forests, turqoise water and blue sky. When we arrived there was no wind so the forests were perfectly reflected in the lake. It was a very peaceful place to spend a couple of hours.

Tomorrow we head back to touristland in the form of Dubrovnik

Interesting shot with the water level sign. Assume they rely on spring melt water to replenish the lake.

actually the info board said it filled more in summer from underground springs. The translation wasn't good so I expect it it is meltwater & I would assume spring. The level had obviously been low for a long time as there was a good growth of grass between high & low water mark
