Detailed itinerary

1

On the way to northern Montenegro, we’ll make our first stop at the picturesque Morača River Canyon, just 30 minutes from Podgorica.
This canyon, about 30 km long and up to 1,000 meters deep, is known for its dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear water. A perfect spot for a short photo break.
There will be one special stop for adventure lovers - walking bridge 20 meters above the river.

2

Located right next to the river, Morača Monastery is one of the most important Orthodox monasteries in Montenegro, founded in the 13th century.
It is famous for its ancient frescoes, icons, and peaceful spiritual atmosphere. We’ll stop here to explore the history and culture of the region.

3
Stop 3

A brief stop on the banks of the Tara River — feel the cool emerald waters and soak in the wild spirit of Montenegro.
This spot is also the starting point for rafting tours.

4

We’ll visit the famous Đurđevića Tara Bridge, which spans the Tara Canyon — the deepest canyon in Europe.
From 172 meters above the river, enjoy breathtaking views. Optional: try a zipline ride over 1 km long across the canyon.

5

The true "jewel of Durmitor", Black Lake is the largest glacial lake in the region.
You’ll have time to walk the path between the two connected lakes (Large and Small), take photos, or simply relax in the shade of the surrounding coniferous forest.

6

Sedlo Pass
We’ll drive along one of the most scenic roads in Montenegro — through the Sedlo Pass, sitting over 1,900 meters above sea level.
From the top, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of rugged peaks and alpine meadows.

7

Piva Lake (Pivsko jezero)
Descending from the pass, we’ll stop by Piva Lake — an artificial reservoir surrounded by steep limestone cliffs.
It’s a great place to rest, take photos, and enjoy the tranquility of nature.
