Canyons of Montenegro: for those who do not like lying on the beach
Whoever did not sing odes to the charming sea of the eastern Adriatic, and all the talk usually rests on the beaches. Rest in Montenegro with children, of course, assumes an inexpensive and cozy home in Montenegro, a gentle sea, silky sand and fine quality food. Fans of parties, nightlife and so-called dvizheki will appreciate Budva or Herceg Novi, but there are in Montenegro and corners for lovers of a healthy and active lifestyle. So, the canyons of Montenegro are entertainment for extreme people, although it is sometimes even difficult to imagine that such a quiet and patriarchal country can provide pleasures of this kind. And, nevertheless, there are plenty of conditions in the mountains to tickle your nerves. Take at least the ski slopes of Zabljak and Kolasin, the paragliding grounds in Durmitor and, of course, rafting on Tara.
However, the canyons of Montenegro do not oblige you to rafting at all - people who are far from sports can simply appreciate the beauty of these landscapes and capture the divine nature on photographs. Hiking here is no less popular than extreme sports.
As you go deeper into the heart of Montenegro, the forests become thicker, the mountains are steeper, the air is fresh and cooler. Before you stretch the mountain valleys, deep abysses will open up, majestic waterfalls will sound - the natural wealth of Montenegro is unimaginable and difficult to describe.Canyons of Montenegro clatter all over the world - their depth can reach up to 1300 meters. To visit the most grandiose of them, you need to leave in the opposite direction from the sea, passing the famous Skadar Lake (you should also see its mirror surfaces). Canyon of Tara is the second largest canyon in the world, the canyons of Piva and Murochi are no less spectacular.
Rafting on Tara is, perhaps, one of the most important reasons for the interest of extremals to Montenegro, although the river is not particularly turbulent. Other canyons of Montenegro are popular, rather, among lovers of beauty. To get to the canyon of Tara, it is better to focus on Plelevu or Zabljak. Also not far from these places is the small town of Mojkovac. There are so many attractions that they will not be enough for a week. If you do not have much time, be sure to visit the Djurdjevic Bridge - one of the highest in Europe, walk around the reserves of Durmitor, and see the local shrines.
The canyon of Morácí can be seen from the window of the train Bar-Belgrade. In itself, the railway is incredibly interesting - it runs through deep gorges and bridges over mountain precipices. Closer to this canyon is the city of Kolasin, it is convenient to get here from Podgorica. Pay attention to the most beautiful national parks Belasitsa and Biogradskoe Lake, visit the ancient monastery of Moraca.
Canyons of Montenegro are beautiful in that they cut the virgin nature of river banks quite naturally, as if to say that there are things beyond the control of time and civilization. You will feel the rumble of the ancient wind and the noise of gigantic centuries-old trees. It is impossible to forget. And among the springs, waterfalls and mountain hills are old monasteries and temples.
Be sure to plan trips to the mysterious canyon Nevidio and the canyon of the Piva River.
