Piva Lake Montenegro Postcard

Piva Lake (Pivsko jezero) is a stunning artificial reservoir located in the Plužine Municipality of northern Montenegro. Created by the construction of the Mratinje Dam in 1975, the lake was formed by flooding the Piva Canyon. The resulting emerald-green water winding through the dramatic, tree-covered mountains is a sight to behold, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and human engineering. Today, Piva Lake is a popular destination for recreation, especially during the warm summer months. Visitors can enjoy activities such as boating, kayaking, fishing, and swimming in the clear, refreshing waters. The nearby town of Plužine serves as a gateway to the lake and the surrounding Piva Nature Park, providing access to hiking trails and panoramic viewpoints that overlook this magnificent body of water.
