Zeleni vir is a mountain lake located in the Mlječni doli, at an altitude of 1820 meters. This clear lake with a characteristic green color is supplied with water from snow, rain and a small spring, making it an important natural reservoir in the central part of Durmitor.

It is located about a kilometer from the highest peak of Durmitor, Bobotov Kuk, at 2028 meters above sea level. The green whirlpool is 50 meters long, 40 meters wide and up to 2 meters deep.
