About this experience

Bogićevica is a mountain area in the Prokletije. It spreads over Albania, Montenegro and Kosovo. It is about 15 km long and 10 km wide. The mountain area has a number of peaks higher than 2,000 m and two higher than 2,500 m. Marijaš (2,533) and Maja e Ropës (2,502 m) are both located in Kosovo.

A part of Maja e Ropës mountains was declared a mountains flora reserve in 1955 covering an area of 25 h (molika, beech, pine). In the same area the Kozhnjari was declared a fauna reserve covering an area of 161 h especially because of the presence of chamois.

Hrid Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Montenegro. It is a real pearl of Prokletije massif. It is called ‘’Lake of happiness’’ because it is considered that bathing in it contributes to happiness in marriage, health and well-being. In order to be more secure in the realization of the legend, it is advisable to cast some of the jewelry into the lake.
