Winter fairy tale

Today we have another Montenegro. Not familiar to all the coast, and frosty and snowy north. This feature has its own uniqueness - you just walked under the palm trees, and in 3 hours you can ski. From Budva to Zabljak, Google maps are only 190 km away. The numbers in the text are coordinates.

This time we will go to Zabljak through the town of Nikshich. This road allows you to slowly ride around the Boka Bay of Kotor and enjoy the beautiful views of the cities of Kotor, Perast, Orahovac, Risan. It should be remembered that on most sections of the road the speed is limited to 40-50 km / h. After the circular movement (42.496153, 18.654785) we go uphill. After a while, on the right there will be a small dirt observation deck, on which it is worth stopping. (42.519401, 18.680530) The opening view of the bay is mesmerizing.

After the pass and several tunnels, the road leads to a straight line. On the right and on the left, at the foot of the mountains, lonely houses huddle. It's already getting colder here. A few kilometers turn to the right along the index Nikshich - Podgorica. (42.733267, 18.601675)

at the entrance to Niksic. In the distance, the slopes of the mountains can already be seen. (42.752557, 18.814087)



A typical Montenegro ... A road and a man with a gun.

"And the road is snaking like a snake ...". The mountains are already visible in front. By the way, the road is clearly cleaned, sprinkled with granite chips. You can ride quite confidently.

The news should be very cautious - dizzying views open to the right and left. It can be seen how the temperature is changing - the snow lies above.

Mountain peaks sleep ... You get out of the car and you are enveloped by such a sticky silence that it seems - it can be touched like cotton wool.

Sleepy mountain skiing realm.

Completely open views.



On the streets of Zabljak (43.158016, 19.123897). The city lies at an altitude of 1465 m and the very nature is turned into a base for winter sports.



The road to the Black Lake is similar to the picture from the kingdom of Berendey.


In 10 minutes drive from the city is the famous Black Lake. (43.147279, 19.097080) We arrived there quite at sunset, so everything looks pretty gloomy. But it's fabulous.

At night we booked an apartment in one of the campsites near Zabljak. The owner of the camp - Michaud Milovan, loves the Russians and left without food and a stack of homemade slivovitz was not possible. For guests, Michaud offers a dinner consisting of a large portion of trout, cabbage and potatoes. Everything is deliciously tasty and satisfying. At the same time, you completely immerse yourself in the local environment. You communicate with the owner, his brother, his mother and even the working Albanian. For me, it's important, to feel the color of life. Yes, everything costs 6 euros per person. P.S. Slivovitsa without restrictions.



The head after the ecologically clean slivovitz is transparent, so early in the morning you can continue the journey. Here is my village, here is my home dear!

Now we will go in the direction of one of the most famous places in Montenegro, and in all of Europe - the canyon of the river Tara.

The famous Djurdjevic Bridge (Đurđevića Tara Bridge 43.150497, 19.295395) in winter looks much brutal and majestic. The height of the bridge is about 170 meters! Unusual snow table laying gives the landscape an even greater unreality ...



Return better through Mojkovac and Kolasin. In some places the road runs almost along the river bank. It is worth paying attention to the unusual turquoise color of water.

Frost. The sun. It's a wonderful day. The distances are not very large, but it costs to put in twice as much time for a trip, because you will stop and photograph every kilometer.

Towards evening we return to warm Budva. If there were -12 in Zabljak, then already +18. Where to stop - choose you!
