OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY for Sunday 18/10

Canoe Kayak on Lake Aoos

The artificial lake of Aoos was created with the construction of the hydroelectric dam in 1987. It is located at the foot of Montenegro at an altitude of 1350 meters. It has evolved into an important ecosystem with rich flora and fauna. It is a peaceful alpine setting as in winter the blue waters sink into the white of the snowy landscape and in summer they drown in the green of the dense riparian forest!

The route with our canoes, explores the eastern part of the lake. We approach its shores to see the alpine cows up close or to admire the tall black pines (pinus nigra) that descend from the slopes of the Valia Calda National Park. We will make a stop on the island which is located about halfway for a traditional treat (!!), rest and for a swim and we will return to the starting point.
