Sušica Lake
At the lowest point of the Sušica Canyon is Sušica Lake. This lake dries up completely in the summer months. Depending on the rainfall, and most often by June, mountains can be seen on the surface of this lake. In the summer months, only green pastures can be seen in this place. Only with rainfall in the winter period does the lake fill with water again. Every year the same scene is created.
Access to Sušičko Lake and the Durmitor Ring
Lake Sušice is located at the bottom of a 15-kilometer-long and up to 700-meter-deep canyon of the river Sušice, along the route known as Durmitor Ring. This spectacular 84-kilometer ride starts from the center of Žabljak and leads through Durmitor National Park and Piva Nature Park, connecting famous locations such as Štuoc (1,952 m) and the village of Mala Crna Gora.
Sušičko Lake can be reached via several mountain trails: from the Žabljak side via the road to Trsa, from where the trail to Škrčka Lakes branches off, then via Dolovo and Skakalo, as well as from the direction of Piva via the village of Nedajno or from the south via the villages of Bosača and Veliki Štulac.
Natural and ecological features
Depending on the water level, the lake can be 350 to 450 meters long, and the maximum width it can reach is 200 meters. At that time, the lake is four to five meters deep. It is formed around the Sušica River itself. Part of the lake's water flows through underground channels through porous limestone.
