Geography of Montenegro: what does paradise look like on the map?

What juicy epithets the modest Montenegro has not received in its history. If you are going to rest in Montenegro and open various sites with descriptions, then, of course, you will not find any original specifics there, but you will read plenty of emerald sea, sapphire sky and black mountains. All this is the truth, but to plan your leisure well, you will need the general geography of Montenegro, so that your idea of ​​the country was the most complete.

So, the cozy Crna Hora is located in the south-west of the famous Balkan peninsula, and its area is just under 14 thousand square kilometers. At the same time, such a small scrap of land includes four independent climatic zones:

- Coast

- flat area

- Highland massifs

- Plateau

The political geography of Montenegro is as follows:

- Western borders - Bosnia and Herzegovina

- Coastal areas - Croatia

- North and North-East - Serbia

- East - Albania

- South - Adriatic

The coastline stretches for 300 kilometers, of which 73 kilometers are wonderful sandy and pebble beaches.

The Montenegrin coastal areas can not boast of breadth: the mountains approach almost to the very edge of the water, and in the widest places there are hardly 10 kilometers of coast. Further, the plateau begins, which somewhere represents rocky cliffs, somewhere - relatively flat areas.

True, the famous Kotor Bay crashed into the coast for more than twenty kilometers, which once allowed us to consider it a sea fjord. However, modern studies, thanks to which the geography of Montenegro unfolds completely from unexpected sides, proved that Kotor's great-grandfather is the relict river canyon.

Over It is very dry, the rocks are steep and covered with cracks, there are very few vegetation here, fertile lands are found only by small patches of the karst rocks - usually they are either plains or hollows resembling small craters. If you are renting a property in Montenegro in the Kotor area, be sure to explore the Lovcen national park. It is impossible not to visit the village of Negushi and the famous observation platform behind the mausoleum of Peter Negosh.

In the area of ​​Skadar Lake, this colossal value of the world reserve, there are the lively Podgorica and Nikshich, where in all senses it is convenient to take a rest in Montenegro.

The geography of Montenegro is northern highlands. Four mountain ranges attract researchers, trekking fans, climbers and, of course, athletes. Alpine skiing is one of the business cards of Montenegro. The mountains here are not high, the average maximum height is about 2000 meters and only the legendary Bobot Cook rose to 2,5 thousand meters above sea level.

Plains are cut by the deepest canyons of Tara, Piva and Mora.

In a word, if you want maximum concentration of historical and natural interest per square meter, come to Montenegro. For one vacation, you'll visit four mini-countries.
