The lake is the largest in the Balkans at 41km long and with the surface between 370-530 km2. As its depth is up to 60 metres , the bottom of the lake is well below sea level, making it a so-called crypto depression. Shkodra Lake is one of the largest bird reserves in Europe, having some 240 bird species inhabiting its shores, including some of the last pelicans in Europe, and thus popular with birders.
