Durmitor National Park

The deepest Canyon in Europe!

The north of Montenegro preserves pristine landscapes. Those of the Durmitor National Park are so spectacular that they deserved UNESCO protection in unsustainable times. The city of Žabljak is the starting point for exploring the park. Several options are available: the most popular are the hike on Bobotov Kuk which, with its 2500 meters, is the highest point of the Durmitor, and rafting on the banks of the Tara. Especially the latter activity is increasingly successful with the public, being the deepest canyon in Europe, and the second in the world after the Grand Canyon in Colorado.

Not just mountaineering and kayaking. The Durmitor National Park offers countless other outdoor activities: skiing, paragliding, high altitude cycling, safaring, sport fishing, without forgetting the direct observation of the variegated flora and fauna of the region. In fact, apart from the two rivers of the park, the very fishy Tara and Piva, the Durmitor also hosts a beautiful lake: the Crno Jezero (Black Lake) which, frozen in winter, is instead pleasantly swimmable during the summer months. As for the fauna: bears, wolves and eagles populate the more than 300 square kilometers of the park, testifying to the uncontaminated nature of Montenegro. Not to be missed!
