Must Visit Site
Short drive from Zabljak town. Road is good Entry fee is Euro 5 for adults, children below 15 get free entry. There are multiple paid parking lots. Some people park on road side also. From the main parking lot there is a well laid out flat road for easy walking. Around 10-15 minutes walk from the parking to the lake. There are multiple kiosks on the way selling honey, souvenirs, wooden products etc There is also an ice cream vendor on the way If the main parking is full you will be directed to another smaller parking lot from where one has to go over an uneven jungle road for a few minutes to reach a play ground for kids and then join the road from the main parking. There are multiple benches on the way to relax. The road opens to a beautiful view of the black lake. The view is very breathtaking. There are huge mountains and tall trees in the background. The toilet is available at the entry point but it is in very bad condition. Dark inside, the door doesn’t close and it smells. Next is the restaurant and shop for souvenirs. There is only one restaurant on site. If you are dining in the restaurant, use their toilet. Steps go down the lake and there are numerous benches around to sit. You can swim or row the boat yourself. There is a walking path all around the lake which is a gravel path. Hiking trails start from here for other lakes. Walking around the lake is possible and may take around two hours. Unfortunately Tara bridge was closed so couldn’t visit.
Response from the operator: This review is not intended for Monte Mare Travel and must be removed from our business profile. You did not book or use any tour, transfer, excursion or other service provided by our agency. Your entire review concerns Black Lake, its entrance fee, parking areas, walking paths, kiosks, restaurant, boats and other facilities. Monte Mare Travel does not own, operate or manage any of them. We have absolutely no connection with the condition of public facilities at Black Lake, and there is no justification for mentioning them—or rating our company based on them—on the profile of our travel agency. We are not an information centre for Durmitor National Park, nor are we responsible for independently visited attractions. Publishing a four-star review on our profile without ever having used our services is inaccurate, misleading and damaging to our business reputation. It misleads potential clients into believing that your comments describe a service delivered by Monte Mare Travel, which is untrue. Remove this review immediately and post it on the correct profile for Black Lake or Durmitor National Park. We have reported this review to Tripadvisor as irrelevant content concerning an unrelated location and services that have no connection whatsoever with our company.

Amazing landscape and...
Amazing landscape and wonderful experience with Bojan! No wonder Northern Montenegro is listed as one of the top 10 Must-Go in Europe. A whole day private tour ensured very personalized service and flexibility. Highly recommend!

crno jezero
Crno Jezero (Black Lake) is a large glacial lake within Durmitor National Park and close to the small town of Zabljak in Montenegro. The lake is surrounded by dense pine forest and large mountains, including Medjed (2,237m / 7,503 ft), part of the Dinaric Alps range. Crno Jezero is actually made up of two lakes; Veliko Jezero (Big Lake) and Malo Jezero (Little Lake). During the summer months, the small straight that joins the lake dries up creating two distinct bodies of water.
Response from the operator: Dear client, Exactly. This is truly a location that should not be missed when visiting Montenegro! Kind regards from Monte Mare Travel Team

North Montenegro Tour:Žabljak - NP Durmitor - Black Lake - Đurđevića Tara Bridge: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does North Montenegro Tour:Žabljak - NP Durmitor - Black Lake - Đurđevića Tara Bridge cost?
+
Prices start at $268 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kotor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does North Montenegro Tour:Žabljak - NP Durmitor - Black Lake - Đurđevića Tara Bridge take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kotor is not rushed.
Is North Montenegro Tour:Žabljak - NP Durmitor - Black Lake - Đurđevića Tara Bridge worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Kotor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule North Montenegro Tour:Žabljak - NP Durmitor - Black Lake - Đurđevića Tara Bridge?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is North Montenegro Tour:Žabljak - NP Durmitor - Black Lake - Đurđevića Tara Bridge suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book North Montenegro Tour:Žabljak - NP Durmitor - Black Lake - Đurđevića Tara Bridge?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kotor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kotor and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does North Montenegro Tour:Žabljak - NP Durmitor - Black Lake - Đurđevića Tara Bridge start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kotor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kotor?
+
On Outty we rank every Kotor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kotor Bay Escape: Blue Cave, Beach & Swimming Time, Exclusive Blue Cave Kotor Swim, Mamula&Lady of the Rock 3 Hour, Blue cave, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kotor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kotor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
