Lake Piva

Montenegro Lake Piva

Lake Piva was created in 1975 after the Piva River was blocked by the construction of the hydroelectric Mratinje Dam, flooding Piva Canyon.

The 180m deep lake is tremendously beautiful, but take the time to explore the nearby Piva Monastery – rebuilt brick-by-brick in 1982 after a further reservoir meant it had to be moved.

You can spend time fishing, swimming or cruising on the lake, while the you can hike in the surrounding forest.

The best walking holidays in Europe

Europe is a famously popular and, in places, crowded travel destination. Escaping the bustle on a walking holiday in Europe's more-remote corners is a good way to escape the day trippers, tour buses and cruise ships that plague the continent’s busier hotspots.

The Balkans draw a fraction of the visitors of Europe’s big hiking destinations in the Alps and Pyrenees. That said, this corner of Europe isn’t immune to the tourism industry’s preference to market what’s already popular rather than its lesser-known places.
