Lake Shkodër (Skadar Lake National Park)

Lake Skadar or Lake Scutari – also called Lake Shkodra and Lake Shkodër – lies on the border of Albania and Montenegro, and is the largest lake in Southern Europe. A karst lake, it is named after the Albanian city of Shkodër which lies at its southeastern coast. The Montenegrin section of the lake and surrounding land have been designated as a national park, while the Albanian part constitutes a nature reserve and a Ramsar site.
