1. Prokletije National Park

The Prokletije National Park on the border between Montenegro, Albania, and Kosovo are the finest. It is an insider tip for everyone who loves nature, authenticity, hiking, nice people, and a break. Gigantic mountains, green meadows, and clean spring water invite you to spend a few days in the national park. The untouched mountains, barren landscapes, unforgettable panoramas, and sporty hikes are truly a joy for every active mountain and nature lover.

2. Oko Skakavice

The "Blue Eye" of Montenegro is quite remote from the tourist centers in Prokletije National Park near the border with Albania. The spring itself is beautiful, and a walk from the Grlja waterfall is ideal. Not only the source but above all the beautiful surroundings with the incredible mountain panorama make a visit here unforgettable! If you have a little more time with you, you can continue for about 2 hours and pay a visit to the, mostly dry, "snake lake" Ropojansko Jezero right on the Albanian border.

3. Plav Lake

A beautiful lake for fishing, swimming, and relaxing. A visit to Plav Lake is worthwhile because of the scenic location, the friendly people, and the good food. The highlight at the lake is probably the view of the Prokletije mountains, a wonderful mountain panorama! The walk at sunset is also particularly worthwhile when the sun sinks into the lake opposite. And for all those who have brought more time and money with them, a stay in one of the lakeside hotels is also an option.
