Description
Explore Montenegro’s northern highlands on a Shard tour. Visit Slansko Lake, the Vražje jezero, and Black Lake. Marvel at the Tara Bridge canyon views before returning to the coast.
Begin your journey with a pickup from your accommodation and head into the majestic northern highlands of Montenegro. Ascend via the sea-view highway toward the rugged interior.
Make your first stop at Slansko Lake, a stunning reservoir created for the Perućica power plant. From the panoramic viewpoint, admire the intricate karst shoreline and a cluster of lush islets scattered across crystal-clear waters, all framed by towering mountains. (Please note this unique stop is exclusive to departures from Kotor).
Continue deeper into the heart of the mountains, passing through villages that retain their ancient, rustic charm. As the vast alpine meadows open up, enter the core of Durmitor National Park. Stop at the mysterious Vražje Jezero (Devil’s Eye). Walk across the silent grasslands to see the water transform from a pale green rim to a deep, sapphire blue center—like an eye gazing at the heavens.
Pass through the wooden cottages of Žabljak to reach the "Soul of Durmitor"—Black Lake (Crno Jezero). This giant glacial lake, consisting of a Large and Small lake, is cradled by dense pine forests and snow-capped peaks. The emerald-black waters create a scene reminiscent of a classical oil painting. Enjoy the 3.5km circular forest trail, breathing in the crisp mountain air in this "world’s end" sanctuary.
Conclude at the magnificent Đurđevića Tara Bridge. Spanning Europe’s deepest canyon, this architectural feat features five massive arches suspended 170 meters above the valley floor. Stand at the center of the bridge to watch the turquoise Tara River rush through the sheer cliffs below, experiencing a breathtaking fusion of human history and natural grandeur.
As the shadows lengthen across the fjords, your Shared vehicle begins the journey back to the coast. Your driver will escort you to your doorstep, concluding a day of profound exploration.
