Why Durmitor National Park matters

Durmitor is Montenegro at its most rugged. Limestone peaks rise above pine forest, dozens of glacial lakes sparkle in hollows, and the Tara river carves one of the deepest canyons in Europe. Hikers can tackle summits, while casual visitors can walk around the lakes or watch the canyon from a bridge or viewpoint. Come in summer for hiking and rafting, winter for skiing.

Talking points

  • Glacial lakes are scattered across the park.
  • The Tara canyon is among the deepest in Europe.
  • Rafting is popular in the warmer months.
