Just 30 minutes away from Podgorica there is a spectacular canyon of Moraca river, about 30 km long and up to 1000 m deep, famous for its steep cliffs. Our stop will be in the middle of the canyon with a view on clear and green Moraca river, and cliffs. Moraca river is one of not many remaining wild rivers in Europe, long about 113 km with the spring under the high peaks of Moracke mountains, with clear and always cold water.

One of the most significant Montenegrin monasteries is located just next to the Moraca river, and contains some of the most beautiful icons and frescoes not just in Montenegro but in the Balkans. There is a great history behind this 8 centuries old religious place and it is one of the most visited monasteries in Montenegro.

Crno Jezero
Black Lake is the largest of 18 glacial lakes of Durmitor mountain massif, so called mountain eyes. It is the last pearl in the necklace of this tour and maybe a perfect moment for you to have a seat on one of many benches around the lake and, surrounded with dense coniferous forest, to sum up all the nice and inspiring memories of this day. The lake lies at the altitude of 1500 m above sea level and actually consists of two lakes that in dry season are separated and in rest of the year connected. Swimming in the lake is possible but it is on your own responsibility.
