Trnovačko Lake (Serbian: Трновачко језеро, romanizedTrnovačko јezero) is a lake in northern Montenegro, best known for its heart-like shape. Located at an altitude of 1517 metres, it is popular with local summer campers.[1][2] It is 700 metres (2,300 ft) long and 400 metres (1,300 ft) wide set amidst a "huge amphitheater of rocky peaks". The lake is drained from the Maglić, the Volujak and the Bioč mountain ranges. The north side of the lake which is open has the wooded Vratnice. The lake water has a deep green-blue colour.
