About

It is a glacial lake located between the Prokletije and Visitor mountain ranges at an altitude of 906 m above sea level, and extends north-south for some 2,160 m. Its average width is 920 m, and its maximum depth is nine meters.

It is the largest glacial lake in Montenegro, and is also the best-known tourist attraction in the area.

The whole Plav region nestles at the foot of the towering Prokletije mountain range and rests on the banks of Lake Plav. The lake itself stretches from north to south for nearly a mile.

The lake itself is full of limestone caverns and there are many springs where water gushes forth from the earth.

gollark: It should also wipe your search history.

Then it computes the SHA-1 hash of the fragment and compares it with saved hashes from the current and previous versions. If it finds a match then the fragment is not stored. How does *thiß* work?
gollark: Bee you.
