Introducing Durmitor National Park
Magnificent scenery ratchets up to the stupendous in this national park, where ice has carved out a dramatic mountain landscape. Some 18 lakes dot the Durmitor Range with the largest, Crno jezero (Black Lake), a pleasant 3km walk from Žabljak. Dominating all is the rounded mass of Međed (2287m) rearing up behind the lake and flanked by other peaks, including Bobotov Kuk (2523m). Slitting the earth’s crust for 80km, the 1.3km-deep Tara Canyon is best seen from a rock promontory at Curevac, a €10 taxi ride away from Žabljak.

From December to March, Durmitor is Montenegro’s major ski resort while in summer it’s a popular place for hiking, rafting and many other activities. The weather is very changeable so be prepared, even in summer.
