Highlights
  • Podgorica City Stadium - Pick-up is available from any address in Podgorica. This tour offers two options: Durmitor, Biogradska Gora, and Canyon Tara, or Durmitor, Pluzine, and part of the Durmitor ring with Pivsko Lake.

We will drive for approximately 3 hours to Scepan Polje. Along the way, we will encounter many stunning views, including Danilovgrad, Niksic, and Pivsko Lake.

  • Durmitor National Park - This region of our country is truly incredible, boasting magnificent natural beauty. Recognized by Lonely Planet as one of the Best in Europe travel destinations in 2017, Northern Montenegro is a national treasure. This tour focuses on Durmitor National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980. This remarkable mountain range, shaped by glaciers, features 18 glacial lakes and is surrounded by three canyons, including the Tara River Canyon, which has the deepest gorges in Europe.
  • Crno Lake - Encircled by dense forests of Durmitor pine, which, along with the Durmitor massif, are reflected in the clear water, giving it an indescribable shade of black, the lake is aptly named Black Lake. Some say the name also comes from the dark depths of the lake, especially Mali, which reaches depths of up to 50 meters, while Veliko is half as deep at 24.5 meters.
  • Pluzine - The road from Zabljak to Pluzine is part of Durmitor’s ring and offers breathtaking panoramic views. We will pass by ethno villages where you can sample local products. You can also book a hiking trip for unforgettable memories.
  • Piva Lake - Piva Lake (Pivsko jezero) is an artificial lake located in the Municipality of Plužine and is on our route. The Piva landscape is characterized by dense forests, limestone plateaus, and spectacular canyons formed by the Tara, Piva, Komarnica, and SuÅ¡ica rivers.
  • Tara Bridge - This beautiful bridge spans the Tara River Canyon and offers amazing views. The 365-meter-long (1,198 ft) bridge has five arches, with the largest span measuring 116 meters (381 ft). The roadway stands 172 meters (564 ft) above the Tara River. At the time of its completion, it was the largest vehicular concrete arch bridge in Europe. There is also an option for a ZIP LINE.
  • Biogradska Gora - Biogradska Gora National Park is one of the last three virgin forests in Europe. According to legend, locals were forbidden to cut trees around Biogradsko Lake, as it was believed to bring bad luck to the entire family. The beautiful lake, shining and surrounded by forest, creates an impression of calm and peacefulness.

Great Tour of Northern Montenegro - The Durmitor National Park, Northern Fairy Tale by Montenegro Wonders was a great tour! Tanja was particularly helpful in customizing my tour to include specific sites that I wanted to visit. For example, she arranged for my driver/guide, Milos, to take me from Pluzine, Montenegro, through the Kanion Rzeki Piva to Scepan Polje and across the Zeta River into the Republic of Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Milos was an exceptional driver/guide, who was very knowledgable, helpful, and accommodating. He picked me up from my hotel in Podgorica on time in his clean and comfortable car and dropped me off 12 hours later at my next hotel. He stopped whenever I wanted so I could take pictures. He also stopped periodically for coffee and a lunch break. At my request, he added a stop at the Piva Monastery. The entire tour covered 350 kilometers on mostly mountainous roads. Tanja and Milos both did an exceptional job and I definitely would recommend this tour for anyone interested in visiting northern Montenegro.
