Durmitor National Park

I have just spent some time in Durmitor National Park in Montenegro. Based on what I can tell, it is a breathtaking park with lots to see and do. I do not recommend coming in October. Stay at Hotel Pavlović for a “ski lodge” atmosphere, hot water, delicious breakfast and restaurant offerings, domestic wine and great and knowledgeable staff.

The Durnitor National Park is so much more than words can describe. We looked at the reviews before going and we have to admit - we weren't expecting that much. As the time was flying we even considered not going due to timeframe. Fortunately we still went. All we did was drive through the mountains on the narrow road with lot's of opportunities to stop. It was rainy, windy and cold and still it was the best choice! We happend to get there just near the sunset time and the clouds, mountains and sun altogether - it was breathtaking. We just stopped the car, stood there and watched in silence. Majestetic! Amazing! The road is not bad at all. It is narrow, but you have plenty of broader places to reverse to if need be. We did not meet any buses. We went in the end of september. There was no fee - at least we did not see anywhere where to pay 🤷‍♀️ Defenetly a must-visit place!

An incredible natural park where every corner surprise you more and more. I high recommend doing the entire rout by car so you can stop at all the viewpoints. We had a lot of fog, but it was still spectacular. We can’t wait to come back with better weather!

Lovely park. Serene walk along the lake banks. Take into account that the trails are not always clearly marked, and a full walk around the lake could include some challenging terrain (eg climbing with a rope rail) and may take up to 3 hour. Get some water and ensure you have sufficient daylight.

** An Absolute Gem of a National Park ** Breathtaking scenery everywhere you look. Well marked trails suiting different fitness levels. Parking can be bit tricky and €3 per hour. There are 2 entrances to the park one with a shorter hike than the main entrance. Can have a dip in the Crno Jezero ( Black lake ) after a hike to cool off. 100% recommended.

An amazing national park and a must visit for any trip to the mountains of Montenegro. We started our time at Zbaljak, with the black lake, then drove the durmitor ring road in a clock wise direction. There are stunning views and nice short and ling trails in Sedlo, bobotov kuk and other places. We spent one night in Nedajno village at a very cute chalet and completed the trip the second day after a visit to the curevac peak. Would highly recommend sleeping in a village inside the park and not just in Zbaljak. It was very relaxing. Weather is on the cold side in late September so be prepared and probably best to come earlier if planning on camping.

Absolutely worth a visit. Stunning scenery! Entry costs €5 per person and parking is €15 for 5 hours or €24 for the whole day. There were boats available to rent for €10 per hour to row around the Black Lake.

It's hard to describe in words all the beauty of Durmitor National Park, which has so much to offer every nature lover. Each visit here brings a new round of enjoyment and rest for the soul and body. I would recommend to everyone to come and stay at this beautiful mountain and in this wonderful national park.
