Welcome to Eco Travel Montenegro
Table of Contents
Somewhere between the Adriatic Sea and the Dinaric Alps lies a country so small you could drive across it in a single day, yet so varied that a single day would never be enough.
Why This Blog Exists
Montenegro is often mentioned in the same breath as its glamorous neighbors - a quick stop between Dubrovnik and the Albanian Riviera. We think that does the country a disservice. Beyond the yachts of Kotor Bay and the beach clubs of Budva lies a wilder, quieter Montenegro: shepherds still moving flocks between mountain pastures, rivers so clean you can drink from them, and national parks where wolves, brown bears, and golden eagles still roam.
Eco Travel Montenegro was created to share that side of the country - through honest stories, real photographs, and practical guidance for travelers who want to explore responsibly. We’ll take you to:
- Durmitor National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the Tara River Canyon cuts nearly 1,300 meters deep, and where winter turns the mountains into a ski-touring paradise.
- Biogradska Gora, one of Europe’s last three primeval forests, where trees have stood undisturbed for centuries.
- Lake Skadar, the largest lake in the Balkans, a haven for pelicans, herons, and over 280 bird species.
- The Bay of Kotor, often called Europe’s southernmost fjord, ringed by medieval towns and near-vertical mountains.
- Lovćen National Park, where a mausoleum sits at 1,660 meters and the views stretch from the sea to Bosnia on a clear day.
