Kučka krajina is one of my favorite areas in Montenegro. We discovered it years ago, when local shepherds were the only inhabitants of the mountain pastures of Kučka Korita and when there were no signposts and marks at all. Whenever we wanted to show the wild beauties of Montenegro to our foreign guests, we made […]

AUTUMN ON SKADAR LAKE
One of the most fascinating features of Skadar Lake is its ever-changing atmosphere through the seasons. No matter if the lake is calm or wavy, if the sky is bright or cloudy, Skadar Lake is magnificent in all seasons. Maybe October is one of the most beautiful months for a boat ride on the lake. […]
DURMITOR: A PARADISE FOR HIKERS
People often ask me what is my favorite place in Montenegro. My answer never changes: it’s DURMITOR. In my opinion, Durmitor National Park represents one of the most memorable landscapes in the Balkans and maybe in the whole of Europe (photo 1). I don’t know any other area where the mountains are so impressive, where […]
LIPA CAVE: AN AUTHENTIC CAVE EXPERIENCE
On July 13, 2015, Lipa Cave (Lipska pećina) near Cetinje was finally opened to the public. Guided by website www.lipa-cave.me, we decided to visit this speleological pearl as soon as possible (photo 1). We had already tried to enter the cave several times in the past few years, but in vain. Many things changed since […]
SNORKELING IN THE ADRIATIC SEA: FUN & RELAXATION
Snorkeling in Croatia and Montenegro is quite popular among tourists: it is fun, easy and inexpensive. Of course, the Adriatic Sea is not filled with colorful fish and coral reefs. That’s why snorkeling in these waters is not really spectacular, if compared to the Caribbean Sea or the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. So, why […]
SKADAR LAKE – PARADISE LOST?
Montenegro has a lot of amazing places, showing untouched and wild natural beauties, authentic traditions and cultural treasures… No, I am not talking about the Montenegrin Coast. It is understandable that most coastal towns have become crowded tourist destinations, responsible for a large part of Montenegro’s economic development. I want to point at those areas […]

This […]
SKADAR LAKE: VRANJINA MONASTERY AND PELICAN SPOTTING
Skadar Lake has become one of my favorite places in Montenegro. Although I have been living in Podgorica for so many years, I have never known that this area is so beautiful, both from the natural and cultural point of view. A few years ago I started to discover the Lake – and now I […]
SKADAR LAKE: A BOAT CRUISE TO THE KOM MONASTERY
Skadar Lake does not only offer magnificent natural beauties and opportunities for outdoor tourism; it also hides around fifteen medieval monasteries, most of them located at inaccessible places. One of them is the Kom Monastery, built in the beginning of the 14th century on the crest of Odrin Hill (photo 1). Most of the time […]
A GARBAGE ISLAND ON THE ZETA RIVER
After the heavy rainfall and the high water levels in January, it was no surprise to find a lot of garbage on the banks of the Zeta River these days. We know that we have to clean up our property in Rogami each year and make it ready for the warmer season, when we can […]
