I wonder how they get there, by boat or something from the shore? The place is beautiful, I remember photographs of the lake, but I haven’t been there myself.

Людмила Зайцева

Yes, they usually sail from the shore from Vranina by boat. It only takes 10-15 minutes to walk there if the weather is calm. When were you in Montenegro, if you remember the lake?

Василий Петров

Yes, just by boat from Vranina, about 15 minutes if it’s quiet. Did you only see the lake in those parts or did you go further to Montenegro?

Дмитрий Морозов

Yes, they set off from Vranina by boat, there is a pier right at the foot. I myself went fishing nearby in the summer, so I know how quickly they get there. Did you go to Montenegro specifically for the lake or were you just passing by?

Елена Лебедева

Yes, it’s most convenient from Vranina, I also got there last time. And I was in Montenegro two years ago in the summer, just in August, when the water in the lake is warm and there are fewer mosquitoes. Do you go there often?

Полина Беляева

Yes, it’s really the easiest way to get from Vranina, especially if you don’t have your own boat. I go there a couple of times a year, usually in the spring or autumn, when there are fewer people. And in August, did you swim there on the lake or just walk around the island?

Татьяна Смирнова

Yes, from Vranina it’s really the most convenient, especially without your own boat. I was on the island in August, walked along the paths and went into the church, but did not dare to swim - the water then seemed a little cold. What months do you travel in the spring, in May?

Дмитрий Иванов

Yes, from Vranina it’s easiest, especially if you don’t have your own boat. I usually go in May or early June, the water is still fresh, but not as cold as in August. Did you go to the Church of the Assumption just to look or did you have time for the service?
