Lake Shkodra, also known as Lake Scutari, is the largest lake in Southern Europe and is located on the border between Albania and Montenegro. It is a significant natural resource and a key attraction in the region, renowned for its rich biodiversity and beautiful landscapes. The lake is home to a variety of fish species and a haven for birdwatchers due to the numerous bird species that inhabit the area. The River Buna (also known as the Bojana River) flows out of Lake Shkodra and heads towards the Adriatic Sea. It serves as an essential waterway in the region and plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem. The river's delta, near the Adriatic coast, is particularly noted for its lush wetlands and diverse wildlife.
