Pošćensko jezero is a small glacial lake in the south-eastern foothills of Durmitor, inside Durmitor National Park, about 7.5 km from Žabljak. It lies on a plateau of pastures and forest, right beside the road from Žabljak to Trsa.
History
The area takes its name from the village of Pošćenje near Šavnik, where the people who settled here came from; near that village there are two small ponds also known as the Pošćenska lakes.
