Description

Begin your journey with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or accommodation. Travel through the dramatic Morača Canyon and Platije, then continue through the mountain landscapes of Veruša and Bjelasica, making scenic stops along the way whenever the views invite you to pause and take a photograph. For part of the journey, travel alongside the historic railway line, winding through valleys and dramatic mountain peaks. As you approach the northeast, the landscape becomes increasingly wild and remote. Here, discover the traditional mountain way of life that shaped generations of local communities. Arrive at Plav Lake, beautifully surrounded by the peaks of the Prokletije. The area has been inhabited since ancient times and carries layers of history stretching from the pre-Roman and Roman periods through the medieval era and Ottoman centuries. Continue to Gusinje, a historic mountain town once positioned on important trade routes connecting the Balkans. Your local guide has family roots in Gusinje and will share personal local stories, traditions, and legends that are rarely found in guidebooks. Visit Ali Pasha’s Springs, where crystal-clear mountain water emerges from the foothills of the Prokletije. Surrounded by greenery and dramatic peaks, the springs are one of the region’s most beautiful natural landmarks. If temperatures allow, refresh yourself in the exceptionally clear spring water. Enter Prokletije National Park, known as the “Cursed Mountains” — a name surrounded by legends and inspired by the formidable, almost inaccessible character of these peaks. Among them rises Zla Kolata (2,534 m), the highest summit in Montenegro. Continue into the breathtaking Grebaje Valley, framed by the dramatic Karanfili peaks, where the scale and untouched beauty of the mountains create one of the most memorable landscapes in Montenegro. Your final natural highlight is Oko Skakavice, a remarkably clear mountain spring hidden within this spectacular landscape. Depending on the weather and water temperature, this can also be a perfect place for a refreshing dip. Enjoy free time for lunch, with the opportunity to taste traditional mountain cuisine such as homemade pita, kačamak, cicvara, locally sourced lamb or veal, fresh milk, and creamy kajmak.
