Žabljak

Information

The ski resort Zabljak is located in the north-west of Montenegro, at the bottom of Mount Durmitor at an altitude of 1465 m. It is one of the highest mountain towns not only in the Balkan, but in Europe.

Despite the fact that the Durmitor mountain range is small, its nature is unique. Most of the massif, including the canyons of the Tara, Draga and Susica rivers, as well as the upper part of the Komarnica river valley, is a part of national park. Since 1977, the Tara River Canyon has been declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO, and since 1980, Durmitor has been included in the UNESCO World Natural Heritage List.

There are 18 glacial lakes in the Durmitor massif, the most famous of them is Black Lake. It consists of two lakes, which sometimes, merging, form a real waterfall. This lake is popularly called the “eyes of the mountains.” And it got its name due to the fact that the mountain is reflected in its waters, giving the water a special dark shade. The water in this lake is very clean.

At any time of the year, there are plenty of tourists: in winter, those who want to ski, and the rest of the time – nature lovers, hiking lovers and mountain air lovers. In January, skiing competitions, auto racing “Winter Cup of Montenegro” are organized here, in March, the Durmitor Skiing Cup, which is actively gaining popularity. However, life here is also in full in summer time: in July, fans of cycling come here, because there is a grand bike tour on Mount Durmitor (“Durmitor Ring”), and in August, exciting jeep rallies.
