Lake Rujište

Directions

Rujište

Rujište is a lake at Biševo in the municipality of Rožaje, in the mountains of north-eastern Montenegro, and one of the most visited natural spots in the area. Beside it rises the alpine pasture of Gospođin vrh, with wide views of the surrounding mountains, and the area around it, Rujišta, is a quiet retreat whose potential is still largely untapped.

Tips

Walk up Gospođin vrh for the view over the lake and the mountains. Ask in Rožaje about the road and about swimming or fishing.

Rožaje makes a good base: the Ganića kula, a defensive tower of 1797, houses the town’s ethnographic museum, the Ibar rises from springs on the northern slopes of Hajla, and Hajla itself is a day’s hike from June to October.
