Europe RR - Group 137 * Happy Mix

Two very different cards from Montenegro and Belarus. 

Annamaria is from Serbia and traveled to Montenegro by train some time ago and that was when she had the opportunity to see Skadar Lake. 
The lake is located in Zeta – Skadar valley and is surrounded by mountains, and it’s 7 km away from Adriatic Sea. Two Thirds of Skadar Lake is in Montenegro and the rest is in Albania. The size of the lake varies from 530 to 370 km2 it is 44 km long and 14 km wide. Coast line is very sharp, especially in the north – west side.
Skadar Lake is the largest lake at the Balkan Peninsula, with fresh water and one of the largest national parks in Montenegro. It’s extremely famous for its diversity of flora and fauna. - in: https://www.visit-montenegro.com/tourism/national-parks/lake-skadar/

Yuliya sent me a new church from Belarus. 
The catholic church of Exalatation of the Holy Cross in Vileika was built between 1906-1913. Its architecture combines features of neo-romanesque and neo.gothic styles. 
The church is included in the state list of Historical and Cultural Values of Belarus.
