 There
are no towns in the world located on such a height as Zabljak.
It “moved up” to 1465 meters of the massive mountain of
Durmitor”. “The most beautiful cruelty of the nature” that
is how, a long time ago, this extolled and high mountain of Durmitor
was described by one of the world’s authors who wrote about his
travels and he added: “The nature was creating this mountain in its
most powerful element inspiration, shaping its chaotic relief which
confuses and has in itself an attractive horror”. It is no wonder
then that this mountain is the “cradle” of many legends on the
mountain heroes, even on the legendary Marko Kraljevic.
The center of Durmitor’s area, Zabljak is the metropole of the
mountain tourism in Montenegro. “High in the clouds”, in the
primordial nature, this center can accommodate t housands
of tourist in its hotels and in private accommodations. Those who
are looking for fresh air, potable spring water, beautiful horizons,
the silence of green clearings, the bubbling of mountain brooks and
all those who consider a mountain a challenge and attractive should
visit this place. This is also the right place for you to try the
traditional national meals - hot boiled milk, cheese made of
un-boiled milk, cream (kajmak) from a wooden trough and yogurt from
buckets, hot polenta, hot round bread or corn bread baked under the
iron pan. Still, what really fascinates the guests are the whole
series of mountain peaks, “headed” by the stooped peak called Meded.
Other
than these peaks there are number of other “jewels” like grassy
plateaus and valleys, glaciers and snow waters even in the middle of
the summer, areas of the beautiful conifers, beech grooves, colonies
of juniper threes and the picturesque villages and summer pastures.
And as a special jewel of this area there are lakes in the forest
clearings and valleys called “Gorske oci” (mountain eyes). There are
18 of them here and the most accessible and the most visited are
Crno (Black) and the Zminje Lake, while the other are not so
accessible and they can only be reached by marked paths but also
with the certain efforts, as it is the case, after all, with all the
untouched beauties.
Therefore, not by accident, the narrowest part of the mountain
Durmitor with the
Canyon of the river Tara, the surface of which is 36
thousand hectare, was registered as a part of the UNESCO’s world
inheritance and was proclaimed a National park. Of course Zabljak
took care of all those who wanted to meet, enjoy or to learn about
this corner of the world’s nature. It is possible to accommodate
approximately thousand guests
in the hotels “Planinka”, “Jezera”, “Zabljak” and “Durmitor”.
Of course, accommodations are also provided in the country
households, motels and camps. Apart from the orderly and marked
pedestrian paths, leading towards the Durmitor’s peaks, guests can
also use two cable railways, more then 2000 meters long, leading
from the hotel “Durmitor” to “Mali Stuoc” and Savin kuk peaks. Those
who adore winter sports, besides the very neat skiing and sledding
paths, have at their disposal three ski lifts.
And the circle road going around the mountain, 56 km long, leading
along the Piva’s and Tara’s slopes, and through the other attractive
regions can give you one more unforgettable experience of this area
and the legendary mountain of Durmitor.
