General presentation
Durmitor et Žabljak
High mountain massif around Žabljak, with glacial lakes, Tara Canyon, forests, gazebos and altitude roads.
To understand what Durmitor and Žabljak are, you have to look at Lake Noir, Canyon of Tara and Bobotov Kuk. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by mountain reliefs, shores and lakes, forests and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is necessary to plan a fairly sustained day. Also to anticipate: mountain weather and some trails are demanding. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Mountain lake
Lac Noir
The Lac Noir is the most accessible front door of the Durmitor, with a forest loop and views of the peaks that are reflected in the water. The site works as well for a family walk as as it is the first landmark before longer hikes.
National Park
Durmitor
The Durmitor It brings together glacial lakes, rough plateaus, dark forests and limestone ridges around Žabljak. Lake Noir gives an easy approach, while panoramic roads and trails to the peaks are better suited for travellers ready to cope with mountain weather.
Belvedere and canyon
Pont de Đurđevića Tara
The Tara Bridge provides spectacular access to the Tara Canyon, with diving views, seasonal rafting and panoramic stops. It completes the Durmitor by a more vertical reading of the Montenegrin north.
