We will visit a small town in the north. They often have stalls in the city center where you can buy local products.

This mystical sacral edifice is surrounded, like a medieval fortress, with high stonewall inside which there are sleeping quarters which can tell you some legend from this area. According to one legend, which is present among the local people, this monastery was made of special yellow stone, which is found in the area very far from the place where the monastery actually is. According to this legend people from this area made a column, which was tens of kilometers long, and in that way turned the stone from hand to hand from the place called Tusine, the place where the stone was located, to the present monastery Moraca.
3
Spectacular Moraca River Canyon is mostly famous because of one of the most unique and the most interesting roads in the world. Road E65 with countless cliff-side bends and tunnels, this road will amaze you in every way.
Along the very edge of this tight canyon, the highway is built to connect Podgorica and Kolasin.
But anyway, is one of most beautiful river canyons in Montenegro which separate mountains of Moraca from Sinjajevina range. Absolutely unique place, which will leave you breathless.
