Gateway to the lake
About Virpazar
Virpazar stretches over a plateau between the Orahovštica and Crmnica rivers and the lake: three bridges, a stone embankment and the hill of the Besac fortress. It has long been the trading centre of Crmnica, and its stone houses are a fine example of building in harmony with the landscape. Our advice: take a boat at the quay, then climb to Besac.
