Durmitor National Park

Durmitor Mountain

The Durmitor National Park is the largest of the country’s five designated parks, packed with jagged peaks, theatrical canyons – most obviously the stunning Tara River canyon with its wild thrashing river and deep mountain lakes. It was announced a National Park in 1952 and it has been on the UNESCO’s List of World Natural and Cultural Heritage since 1980.

Some fifty peaks higher than 2,000 metres above sea level including Bobotov Peak (2,525 metres above sea level) rise above plateaus, alpine meadows and forests cover the landscape. Particular impression is created by 18 glacial lakes, called "mountain eyes", located at 1.500 meters above the sea level. The biggest and the most beautiful is Black Lake, with stunning scenery, and a giant peak Međed, above the lake.

Whether you get your walking through the woods, rafting, or just lazing around beside glassy mountain lakes, if you like the outdoors you will love Durmitor.
