What to see in Montenegro<\/strong> besides the sea and beaches, where to go by car, which canyons, bays and lakes are worth seeing with your own eyes. I share my personal experience from a week-long trip around Montenegro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who imagine Montenegro as a string of beaches are deeply mistaken. To truly feel this country, you need to explore its cozy corners, drive along mountain serpentines, and appreciate the stunning nature. Only then can you get a complete impression of this small but diverse country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important warning about roads in Montenegro in the summer of 2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Durmitor National Park<\/strong> is located in the north of Montenegro on the slopes of the mountain of the same name. Visiting for a day, you can see huge mountains, canyons, and ski resorts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 18 lakes here, and the largest is Crno Jezero<\/strong> (Black Lake), affectionately called \u201cThe Mountain Eye.\u201d Crno Jezero consists of two parts. In summer, the isthmus between the lakes dries up and from the top of Bobotov Kuk<\/strong> it really looks like an eye. In winter, the Durmitor ski resort \u017dabljak<\/strong> operates, attracting lovers of active winter recreation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
