- Lesendro - Lesendro is a peninsula and fortress on Skadar lake, located near the village Vranjina. The fortress was built in the 18th century. It is located on the peninsula that was an island until the construction of the Belgrade - Bar railway line. During the reign of Bishop Peter II Petrović-Njegoš, it served as a defense against Turkish attacks.
Tour plan: Departure is from Virpazar. Cruising begins through a beautiful little channel surrounded by various plants and birds, after which we come to a bigger part of the lake. By boat we pass under the bridge which is part of the main road Podgorica – Bar. Lesendro is located just behind the bridge.
Just after Lesendro, we are cruising through bird reservation and narrow channels surrounded by water lilies, reeds and water nuts, as well as cruising through river Moraca.
After that you will see big and small Cakovica islands where we will make a break for swimming - we call it wild swimming. After swimming we will go back to Virpazar.
