Wild Durmitor is breathtaking

sion: the winter trek, thus, passes through karst troughs and sinkholes, with several undula - tions in altitude. The first part of the ascent, or the last part of the descent, winds through the dense coniferous forest above the lake, with - out broad slopes that would turn the descent into an enjoyable run. Snowshoes are therefore a good choice to help you traverse this land - scape as easily as possible and to ensure you spend a fantastic time in this pristine winter wilderness.

Hikes and winter climbs are just two of the activities enjoyed by visitors, and we shouldn’t forget the culinary specialities of that part of Montenegro - whipped kačamak por - ridge and leafy cheese, which will warm you during cold days. A picnic excursion from Black Lake to Katun provides an opportunity to feel the might of the Durmitor mountain massif without climbing its demanding peaks.
