Piva Lake is an artificial lake created by the construction of Hydro Power Plant ’Piva’ in 1975. There is a dam, near village Mratinje, called ‘Mratinje Dam’, 10 kilometers from Šćepan Polje, which is 220 meters high and it is one of the highest in Europe. The lake itself is deep at some places more than 200 meters. It is 45 kilometers long. Piva Lake represents the largest reservoir of fresh water and it also has fantastic conditions for doing sports activities. It is especially attractive for fishing and sightseeing residual details of the submerged Piva River canyon. On the bottom of the lake there is the old town Plužine. Piva Monastery was also there, but it has been relocated, so the new location of the monastery is 8 km from Plužine (3.5 km away from the original location of the monastery). The relocation has lasted 13 years (started in 1969 and finished in 1982). This Monastery is considered to be one of the most important Orthodox monasteries in Montenegro.

Extremely interesting biking tour and enjoyment in all the benefits of Montenegrin nature and karst. The lake, although artificial, has merged with the environment and gives a special charm to the whole raw landscape! The starting point is the village of Rudinice. Immediately descend down the Rudiničko hill to the ’Gagović brothers’ bridge. Beside the Bezujske slopes, we will cross on the other side of the lake, climb on the viewpoint and enter the village of Dubljevići, and further, from the village of Borkovići a short interesting macadam part of the road follows, and we go on to the village of Boričje.
