Established in 1952 as the first national park in Montenegro, has a long history of environmental conservation because the area Biogradska Gora was declared a National Park in just six years after it was declared the first National Park in the world (Yellowstone, USA, 1872). Namely, the protection of the river basin of the Biogra-dska river dates back to the year of 1878, when Kolasin was liberated from the Turks and when the Montenegrin tribes (Moracko and Rovacko tribe) gave their part of the Biogradska gora forest to the ruler of Montenegro - Prince Nikola. Since that day on, those forests have been called "Knjazev zabran" or area was under state protection.

Deer, fawn, leap, wolf, wild boar, fox, rabbit and over 350 different insects species have found their habitat in the Park. The most impressive part of the Park is the virgin forest named Biogradska Gora that is placed in its central part and that covers the area of 1.600 ha, one of the last three rainforests in Europe with the trees up to four centuries old, over 45 meters high and 150 centimeters wide. A special place in the park occupying glacial lakes Biogradsko Lake, Pesica Lake, Ursulovacko Lake, Ursulovacko Malo (Small) Lake, Sisko Lake and Sisko Malo (Small) Lake.

 

At the altitude of 1.094 meters, in the heart of the rainforest, there is Biogradsko Lake, the biggest and best known of the numerous glacial lakes in the area of the National Park. Lake is situated on the place where glacier melted in the late past and formed the water surface which covers the area up to 250000 m2, depending on the water level.
