Today we will get to know the soul and mystical spirituality of Mount Durmitor. Isn't it really necessary, when we meet someone new - to look him in the eyes first?

After breakfast, we will head deep into the woods, towards the lakes. The road first leads us to the most famous and most marked lake – Crno Jezero (Black Lake). Lake in the shape of digit 8 - two circles that are almost completely separated in the months of drought. With a depth of over 60m and emerald color, the smaller circle of the lake gives you the privilege to look into the soul of this magical mountain. After we dive into the soul of the mountain and get acquainted with its secrets and charms, just like Hansel and Gretel, we will go deeper into the forest. And what a mystical sorceress she is! It's always green, deep, and dark that's why Black Lake got its name! Because of her, because of the dark color of the forest around the lake, mirrored in its surface. Her paths are sprinkled with mushrooms, moss, and fallen trees. From its rich soil, fir and spruce trees, some up to a hundred years old, tend to the sky. And the air! Fresh, fragrant, gentle, and sharp, at the same time.

Created to seduce you farther and farther, all the way to “Zminje Jezero” (Snake Lake). Don't worry too much. Indeed, there are no snakes here, but there is a clear and pure spring just a few steps from the place for lunch and rest. A beautiful little lake on the edges overgrown with water lilies and rare water grasses ... and snakes? Again, the magic forest is responsible for this name. Namely, they say that the dense forest of fir and spruce is so reflected in the water here that it leaves a picture in the lake that resembles snakeskin. Here we will have picnic lunch (included)

The view of the deepest canyon in Europe - Tara River Canyon will leave you speechless.

Today you leave the Durmitor National park and head to the Adriatic coast. After 2h of driving, you arrive at the Ostrog Monastery built by St Vasilije (Basil) in the 17th century. Stopping to visit the lower monastery – the Church of the Holy Trinity – you then take a 30-minute climb along the pilgrim’s path to the higher one. Set before the imposing backdrop of sheer vertical walls, the whitewashed walls of the upper monastery make an inspiring sight. The relics of St Basil lie in the monastery, reverentially housed in a sepulchral sanctuary that is linked to another chapel by a series of caves and passages. The walls are crammed with gifts and pleas from the pilgrims and the entire atmosphere of the monastery is exceptionally piety.

In the shadow of the Lovćen Mountain, surrounded by an equally protective wreath of the Orjen and Vrmac Mountains, at the bottom of the most beautiful bay in Adriatic, lies the quiet and sleepy town of Kotor. Moving through the labyrinth of streets, additionally protected by defensive stone ramparts, we start the wheels of a special clock in each heart, which will continue to count only the hours until the next return to Kotor.

We walk the walls of Kotor to St. Ivan Fortress, 250m above sea level. The mountain massif above us makes a pleasant shade until noon, and the walk lasts just as long. We climb the stone steps, above the stone city. Cypresses, a small church with a bell tower, the red roofs of Kotor covering stone houses, streets that meander and flow into squares, the blue of the sea, and mountains of blue-green tones - are just some images remaining in our memories. Seen from the opposite shore, in the evening, Kotor with its illuminated walls and reflection on the calm surface of the sea form the shape of a heart. As everyone in the world knows, it is a sign of love.

Today, we will set off outside the Bay of Kotor to the southeast, more precisely to the Budva Riviera. Budva coast is the most developed tourist resort in Montenegro. Despite the excessive and uncontrolled tourist development of this region, which has completely changed the landscape, one of the things still worth to be seen is certainly the old town of Budva. We start a hike from the Austro-Hungarian fortress (Kosmač fortress). There we will witness another advantage of our passion for hiking. From this height and distance, the Budva Riviera still looks enchanting. A series of bays, islands, and islets, the blue sea and the sky merging on the horizon, all make a miraculous sight for admiring during our hike. Montenegro is a mountainous country. The Adriatic Sea is the only "plain" there. Earlier, this "plain" was mostly used by fishermen. Now they are almost gone, and small fishing boats are being replaced by cruisers, yachts, motorboats...

Following the mountain trail, we reach the remote Katun Ograđenica (shepherd's hut) and St. Spiridon Church. Here we can take a short break for a lunch (included lunch package) in the isolated peace of the forest church.

From there we start a long descent to the monastery Praskvica

Starting from a tiny town in Muo, we hike on the Old Austro-Hungarian road, built with the stone technique of "dry masonry". The smell of the sea and pine trees ... And at the very end of the zig-zag climb - the path through the fern field to the backyard of grandmother-Radojka's house. From there we take a gravel road that follows the mountain ridge. The mountain divides the bay into the Bay of Kotor and the Bay of Tivat. The sound of crickets is following us along the way. On a gravel road, we are surrounded by low Mediterranean vegetation and exposed to the sun until we start a descent through the enchanted forest back to the shore. Lunch time (not included)
