Outstanding and beautiful
Black Lake ( Serbian: Crno jezero) is situated at the edge Jezerska površ in Monte Negro, two and a half kilometers away from the center of Žabljak.
According to the legend, Holy Sava was once passing by, and somebody (for whatever reason) accused him of stealing something. There was no time for defense, the whole village was up on their feet chasing him. Sava somehow managed to flee, but he was so angry that he made a sign of the cross with his rod and commanded the water to flood the village. Now the villagers were fleeing, but the water was reaching them. Those who were running towards the mountains, the water washed away where today the Small lake is located. Where the water reached those rushing into the meadows, today you find the Large lake. The Large lake is filled by a spring on the northwestern side. The Mlinski potok (a brook) is also contributing. But by far the largest amount of water is supplied by Čelina, a system of wells at the slopes of Međed, 25 meters above the Small lake. After hibernation, sometimes already in April and sometimes in June, the Čelina announces the beginning of its “work” noisily. The sudden breakthrough of water is accompanied by a thundering sound. The locals than just say “The Čelina burst out“. (Montenegro Travel)
