Skadar Lake National Park just outside of Podgorica, Montenegro. It is surrounded by mountains and it is 7 km away from the Adriatic Sea. Two thirds of Skadar Lake is in Montenegro & the rest is in Albania
The plants on the lake are water caltrops. They are a one year, floating rooted plant with a fruit that has a brown skin color and light colored core inside that is like a chestnut which we tasted. The fruit is rich in carbohydrates - starch & proteins with less fat & sugar. Water caltrops are protected by law in Montenegro

Ruins of the Lesendro fortress near the fishing village of Vranjina. The fort was also called “Key to Skadar Lake”, meant to ensure safe trade and fishing for the local inhabitants.
