Although I am aware that Bjelopavlići is not exactly the most attractive tourist region in Montenegro, I have made many nice trips through this fertile and densely populated valley between Podgorica and Nikšić. For me, it is a big advantage that this region has not been discovered by hordes of tourists so far. And apart […]
Danilovgrad
THE HIDDEN SECRET OF GRADINA MARTINIĆI
When you travel from Podgorica to Danilovgrad, either by the new highway or the old road, you can’t miss the internationally recognized “tourist signposts” showing you where to go when you want to visit the archeological site of Gradina Martinići. And when you read relevant information on the website of the Municipality of Danilovgrad or […]
ALONG THE ZETA RIVER: TURKISH BRIDGES AND A BRONZE AGE TOMBSTONE
There is not much traffic on the old road from Danilovgrad to Nikšić, along the Zeta River. It is mostly used by local inhabitants of the villages in the fertile Bjelopavlići valley.

From Podgorica, you can thus make a beautiful round trip that offers much more than a […]
KATUNSKA NAHIJA: ALONG THE ROAD DANILOVGRAD – ČEVO – CETINJE
There are some roads in the central part of Montenegro that are mainly unknown to foreign tourists. One of them is the road through “Old Montenegro” or “Katunska nahija”, which leads from Danilovgrad to Čevo and further to Cetinje or Lovćen National Park. Exploring this area means discovering the authentic Montenegro: no tourists, hardly any […]
BJELOPAVLIĆI: BIKING THROUGH GARBAGE LAND
Our first biking tour this year had to be an easy one, as we needed some training. We decided to make a trip through the Bjelopavlići plain, taking the old road from Podgorica to Danilovgrad and then back along the other side of the Zeta river, passing by the Ždrebaonik monastery and further returning through […]
