Crno jezero is located about 3 km from Zabljak, at an altitude of 1418 meters. This glacial lake is the largest with an area of 0.515 square km, and certainly the most popular lake in Durmitor, and it is also the second largest lake in Montenegro. The Black Lake is part of the Durmitor National Park, which is under the protection of UNESCO. Legend says that the lake was created by Saint Sava. Be that as it may, this attraction is certainly worthy of the great attention given to it, precisely for the reason that the lake itself and its surroundings make one of the magical, almost fairy-tale mountain idylls.

Crno jezero is located at the foot of Medjed peak and consists of two smaller lakes, Veliki jezero and Mali jezero. These two parts of the lake are connected by a narrow stream, but they also form two separate bodies of water. Crno jezero is 1155 m long. It is interesting that the Small Lake has a larger volume than the Big Lake, precisely because of its noticeably greater depth.

Veliko jezero has a surface of about 0.338 square km, while the deepest point is 24.5 meters. The lake has a maximum length of 855 meters and a width of 615 meters.

The small lake has an area of about 0.177 square kilometers, while the deepest point is 49.1 meters. The lake has a maximum length of 605 meters and a width of 400 meters.

What must be seen on the Black Lake?

Black Lake, in addition to the great natural beauty that surrounds it, is characterized by phenomenal viewpoints and caves located in the immediate vicinity. The depths of the lake are also covered by underground ones, through which the water itself flows to Tara and Piva, which is a rarity.

Tito's Cave - Tito's Cave is located right next to Mali Jezera. This cave has historical significance. Josip Broz Tito stayed in Tito's cave in 1943 together with the Partisans. It is believed that the plan for the famous battle on Sutjeska was created right here.
