OVERVIEW
We will begin our trip in Podgorica, where we will pick you up, as we start our adventure to North Montenegro.
First, we will see Moraca canyon which is a true example of power and strength of nature. The canyon is located on one of the most unique and dangerous roads in the world. The road is filled with cliff-side bends, more than 30 tunnels, bridges, and it will leave you in awe. We will make several photo stops along the way.
First National park that we will see is Biogradska Gora National Park and its beautiful Biogradsko lake. This is also one of two last remaining rainforests in Europe.
We will continue our trip over the picturesque mountains, to reach the Tara River, also known as "The Tear of Europe". The Tara river canyon (1300 m) is the second deepest in the world, after Colorado canyon in USA. We will have a stop in Djurdjevica Tara Bridge, a true architecture masterpiece, where you will have the breathtaking view on Tara canyon. A five arch Tara Bridge was built before the Second World War. One of the highlights of this tour is the view from the Djurdjevica Tara Bridge.
After the impressive Tara bridge, we will go up to the forests and meadows of National park Durmitor, which is a UNESCO heritage site. We will visit Zabljak, a little town built on 1456 m, making it a highest altitude city in the Balkans. Located in the very centre of enormous mountain of Durmitor – and in the middle of Durmitor National Park it is surrounded by 16 beautiful mountain lakes. We will visit one of the most beautiful lakes - Black Lake. We will go back through the canyon of Komarnica River, village of Savnik to the city of Niksic and back to Podgorica.
