Description

Discover the untouched beauty of Biogradska Gora National Park on a day trip from Budva, Kotor, or Podgorica. Explore the Morača River Canyon and visit the Morača Monastery,
Begin your day trip with a scenic drive through the Morača River Canyon, a dramatic geological formation carved by the river. Stop at the 13th-century Morača Monastery, renowned for its medieval frescoes and spiritual significance.

Upon arrival at Biogradska Gora National Park, discover one of the last three remaining virgin rainforests in Europe. See Lake Biograd, a glacial lake situated at an elevation of 1,094 meters, surrounded by ancient beech, fir, and spruce trees that have stood undisturbed for centuries.

Explore the Bjelasica mountain range, which encompasses the park, offering a stark contrast to the dense forest floor with its rolling green pastures, known locally as katuni—traditional summer settlements where shepherds practice transhumance.

Traverse the transition from the lush, humid microclimate of the lake basin to the expansive, panoramic vistas of the Bjelasica peaks, such as Crna Glava (2,139 meters) and Zekova Glava. These high-altitude meadows provide an ideal setting for light trekking, photography, and observing the endemic flora that thrives in the subalpine zones of the Balkan Peninsula.
