Continental Region
In the continental region, between the warm seaside and the Montenegrin mountains and canyons, the capital and largest town of Montenegro - Podgorica (170,000 inhabitants) is situated at 44 m of altitude. Additionally, the Skadar Lake, which is less than 20 km away from the sea, is the largest lake in the Balkans and rich in flora and fauna. The Lake is both a fishermen's and an ornithologist's paradise, its adjacent marshland being one of the most extensive in the Mediterranean.
