You must be heard about this place, one of the most beautiful view point from where lake looks like fiord.

The lake is known for its outstanding natural beauty, with crystal-clear water, lush vegetation, and an abundance of wildlife, including over 260 species of birds, many of which are rare or endangered. The lake is also home to a number of fish species, including the endemic Skadar Lake carp.

This boat ride usually make guests trilled and happy.

Karuc is a small fishing village placed in a region of Skadar lake. While we are passing through the narrow streets and strangling not to scratch a car, suddenly you will get to the point why everything was worth it. Stunning view point over the village and sparkling lake in a combination of karst region gives unique picture. No wonder why cult films, sach as "Unseen miracle" , were made right here . Our bishop prince also choose this place for vacation house during the winter time.
We will meet our host who is a painter . You will cach a different spirit of place from this local since his story telling is made through the eyes of an artist. In order to get best experience you will try our local dishes with glass of wine.
Optionally you can have an one hour boat ride in this part of the lake and depending of a water level you will see our Amazon or "hands" of the lake, how we call it. This is one of the most beautiful and less known part of Skadar lake National park.

We will meet amazing family with small boutique winary where we will try 6 sorts of wine, 8 sorts of liquor and 5 brandies. All our guests fall in love in this place and in a vibration of this beautiful winary. This family do this only because this is their passion and you can really feel this.
