Lovcen: a paradise for the untiring and inquisitive
Mountains, clouds and lively relaxation - that's what Montenegrin National Park Lovcen is.
What do you need to fully immerse in nirvana? Good trekkingovye boots, high-quality camera and, of course, a crazy love for Montenegrin nature (and with this problem does not arise, believe me). Quickly gathered - and on the road, towards the dream.
Of course, in occasion of shoes - a statement bold, addressed to professionals of tracking rather than connoisseurs of beauty, who just came to Montenegro to rest. Lovcen Park is quite a civilized place, you can move around by car, from time to time leaving it to feel complete unity with nature and breathe fresh Montenegrin winds. It all depends on where you climbed, and what your goals are. Here you can spend time among people, and all alone and away from civilization.
The Lovcen mountain range is the heart of Montenegro, the core of which is the famous national park. The roads, entangling the slopes of Lovcena, are a traditional mountain serpentine for the local places, the asphalt surface is smooth and comfortable, but the turns are narrow, and the bends are very steep. Constantly we have to struggle with the temptation to accelerate or, conversely, to relax behind the wheel and drown in the view in fantastic landscapes - this should not be done, there are almost no chances left. Speed of more than 50 kilometers, according to tourists' reviews, is a frivolous and extremely dangerous decision.
Lovcen can boast such a diverse flora and fauna that nature researchers are still looking for something new and unexplored here. So, it is here that the legendary black pine grows, which gave its name to the country. This region of Montenegro looks completely black from the airplane window, in the dense forests the crystal clear waterfalls are rattling, mountain streams ring, the mysterious caves and gorges are dozing. Animals in the national reserve Lovcen live in freedom, so be prepared for a meeting with a wild boar, a wolf or a fox if you are deep in the woods.
If you come to Lovcen, be sure to visit Ivanovo trough - a lake, resting in the bosom of a picturesque valley (it is connected with Cetinje serpentine). The lake is surrounded by sanatoriums where restoration of immunity of patients with lung and respiratory tract problems is carried out. But you can stay here as tourists - the private sector of Montenegro in such areas is usually represented by small and very affordable bungalows.
Lovcen, like all mountainous areas, is extremely valuable architectural monuments: Orthodox churches and ancient settlements. It is necessary to visit the monastery of the Holy Transfiguration and the mountain village of Negushi, which houses the burial vault of Peter Negosh, the ruler of the country, a respected political and church reformer, philosopher and poet. The mausoleum with his ashes is located at the peak of the Jezersk top, next to the chapel of Peter Cetinsky.
Rent a property in Montenegro in the season is not always easy, but in mountainous areas housing is always more affordable, and the opportunities for recreation and entertainment are not at all limited compared to the beach areas. Therefore, if you doubt whether Lovcen is suitable for living - do not worry. To reach the sea from Lovcen is not long and easy.
