Šasko Lake is located below the Svač Fortress and is the second largest natural lake in Montenegro with an area of about 4 km2. The lake is about 3m deep. The greatest measured depth of the lake is 8 meters near the underwater spring Begovo oko, which is one of the main sources of water that fills Šasko Lake, but also a place where fish gather during the winter for spawning. The lake also received water from the Medjurečka river and overflow waters across the Bojana. There is a legend that the locals hid the golden cradle at the bottom of the lake, and also that fairies live in the caves around Svač.

Within the project “Heritage Walks & Talks” project, we are developing a new cultural and tourist product that will be able to be used freely by individual tourists, as well as travelers in groups. The concept we want to present to you is conceived as a walk through heritage, and we will be able to use it when we want to get acquainted with the cultural and historical heritage of the Western Balkans, especially the heritage that is still modestly derived from the traditions of local communities and that all the visitors have yet to find out.
