Surfing the internet in search of information about Podgorica, I found an interesting article on the CDM Portal about forgotten monuments. That was the reason why I tried to discover more about this topic. As most of these sculptures are located in the city center, they should not be neglected, as they can contribute to […]

7 PROMINENT STATUES IN PODGORICA

3 UNUSUAL AUTUMN FRUITS IN MONTENEGRO
Tourists travelling through Montenegro in autumn will often be surprised when they explore the green markets in Kotor and other coastal towns or even in Podgorica. They will see an abundance of vegetables and fruits, although some of them seem strange, exotic or “old-fashioned” to them. Not only crimson pomegranates, orange persimmons, yellow quinces, deep […]
THE ‘MOUNTAIN EYES’ OF DURMITOR
This summer we have spent a wonderful time in the area of Durmitor National Park. And we were not the only ones.

JEEP SAFARI: RING AROUND DURMITOR

DURMITOR: THE SEDLO PASS ROUTE IN SPRINGTIME
Six years ago I wrote a short post about our car trip from Plužine to Žabljak: the Sedlo Pass Route. It was in August and the Durmitor pastures were arid and yellow after a period of extreme drought. But that did not influence my opinion that this is one of the most thrilling roads of […]

SLOW FOOD: A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FUTURE OF NORTH MONTENEGRO
One of the things I have always liked in Montenegro is the good and healthy food. Once a week I go to the local market, where I buy fruit and vegetables, domestic olive oil, cheese, honey, home-made juice, fresh eggs, herbal tea, etc. … but of course, I am also very proud of the ‘organic’ […]
STARI BAR – A HISTORICAL ADVENTURE
The last time I visited the old town of Stari Bar was about five years ago. Although it was already clear that reconstruction works had started, most buildings still lied in ruins and it took a lot of imagination to understand why this town had been so important in the past. But things have changed […]
HIKING ALONG THE VRMAC RIDGE
Boka Kotorska is a superb hiking area, in particular in spring and autumn. Although there are several trails and paths around Boka, hiking along the Vrmac ridge is getting more and more popular. Why? First of all, Vrmac has a very special position, as it is a long limestone ridge, separating the inner and outer […]
