This expansive lake, the largest in the Balkans, forms a natural boundary between Albania and Montenegro.
You could rent a bike in Shkodar to get out there, or catch a bus to the western edge of the city and complete the remaining five kilometres on foot.
Not far from the border with Montenegro is the Lake Shkodra Resort, which a campsite with chalets and camping grounds offering tent rental right on the shore where the lake is set off by the Albanian Peaks in the distant background.
