Zabojsko jezero

Directions

Part of Durmitor Lakes

Zabojsko jezero is a mountain lake on the far, south-eastern side of Sinjajevina, the high pastoral plateau between Kolašin and Njegovuđa near Žabljak. It is deep for a mountain lake.

History

The lake is named after the nearby katun of Zaboj, a shepherds’ summer settlement used when flocks of sheep came up to graze on the mountain.

Nature

Zabojsko is one of the two lakes of Sinjajevina, and both are slowly filling in, a natural process of ageing.
