Pavlova Strana Viewpoint

Pavlova Strana is a stunning natural viewpoint overlooking a dramatic, symmetrical river bend that resembles a green-scaled serpent winding through the mountains. It is the definitive panoramic shot of Lake Skadar National Park

You should be aware that the roads leading to the viewpoint are relatively narrow and winding. There is a parking space and a restaurant next to the viewpoint

The best time to visit is early morning (7AM – 9AM) or late afternoon. Midday sun is harsh for photos and creates a hazy "glare" on the water. For the most dramatic light, arrive for sunset when the hills turn a deep, velvety green.

The nearby village of Rijeka Crnojevića is a charming stop for food or a boat ride on the lake
