AN OFF-ROAD TOUR THROUGH THE KUČKA KRAJINA MOUNTAINS
It has always been my dream to make an off-road jeep tour through the Kučka Krajina Mountains and to visit Rikavačko Lake. This Lake is situated at a distance of only 50 km from Podgorica, but it is accessible for mountain bikers and hikers only – and, of course, also for those who dispose of […]
5 EASY HIKING TOURS IN THE HINTERLAND OF MONTENEGRO

Whenever we wanted to show the wild beauties of Montenegro to our foreign guests, we made […]
REVISITING KUČKA KORITA: A LESSON IN HOSPITALITY
I don’t know why I am so fond of Kučka Krajina. Is it the extraordinary karst landscape, the picturesque road, the immense space of the rocky pastures or the magnificent view of the Cijevna canyon? Or is it just the feeling that you are far away from the crowds in Podgorica, alone with nature and […]
KUČKA KORITA: THE PATROL PATH TO GRLO SOKOLOVO
A trip through the Kučka Krajina mountains is always a special experience. This region, close to Podgorica but also close to the Albanian border, is rather unknown among tourists, although it offers many hidden surprises. This time we decided to make a walk along the former patrol path of the border guards in Kučka Korita, a […]
