It is no wonder that many famous European botanists and
geographers, while visiting Montenegro, disregarded their exploratory
missions and became passionate travel writers.
There are just a few places in the world where the
eternal struggle of natural elements has shaped the face of the earth with
such passion and fascination. The fabulously jagged coastline of the
Adriatic sea offers you the variety of beaches, coves, bays and islets that
you have been dreaming of. The reality is even more exotic then the promises
found in tourist brochures. The world’s southernmost and probably the most
celebrated fjord in verse, beautiful Mediterranean
Kotor Bay, as well as the whole seacoast, is sheltered and shielded
by the karstic mountains: Rumija, Sutomoran, Orjen, and Lovcen. In these
picturesque karstic areas and in the cultivated Zeta and Bjelopavlici
valleys, you will get the essence of Montenegrin mountains. The high
mountains like Durmitor, Bjelasica, Komovi, and Visitor can offer you an
unforgettable experience with their hidden lakes, numerous pastures,
forests, pointed peaks, diverse flora and fauna, fast mountain rivers and
imposing canyons. |

There are three colors present in the Montenegrin
landscape:
blue, emerald green
and iron gray, amazingly combined and
interwoven, because of its
priceless natural beauty, Montenegro was proclaimed an ecological state
through a special
declaration. The most important natural resources are four national
parks:
“Durmitor”
designated by UNESCO, “Biogradska gora”, “Skadar Lake”
and Mount “Lovcen”.
