Grmožur

Keep your eyes peeled for many species of native birds perched on top of the walls of Grmožur, the ruined fortress that looms before your eyes. During the time of King Nikola, this abandoned fortification was used as a jail. The island is also known as the "Island of Snakes" by the locals; however, it is more commonly referred to as the "Island of Birds" due to its permanent and temporary bird species.

Q: Will I get seasick on Skadar Lake Short Guided Tour: Discover the Montenegrin Alcatraz?
