1. Ostrog Monastery

Ostrog Monastery is one of the most important monasteries in Montenegro, which is also evident from the crowds that make pilgrimages there. The journey on a narrow road is somehow challenging but tolerable. You can use the stairs through the forest up to the monastery or drive up by car. The view is absolutely stunning! Many believers even spend the night in the monastery and walk barefoot on the way there.

2. Orthodox Monastery Zhdrebaonik

This is an ordinary monastery but due to its location, it offers a wonderful view. If you want to visit the monastery without many visitors it is best to be there at 8 o'clock in the morning, otherwise, it will be crowded in the staircase of the monastery. You don’t need too much time to stay here, so it is recommended as a side trip when you’re in Danilovgrad.
