Observe the Animal World on Tara Is there any greater joy than snuggling up in an adorable cabin in the middle of untouched nature? The Tara River Basin Reserve is one such place to enjoy. The Biosphere Reserve of the Tara River Basin covers an area of ​​1,820 km2 and is one of the favorite places that guests visit while in Montenegro. The Tara River Basin has been included in the UNESCO "Man and the Biosphere" program since 1977, which is an additional reason to visit this amazing place. Eco camp Kljajevića Luka is one of those tucked away places that looks like it was copied from a postcard in the most beautiful iconic part of Đurđević on Tara. This place, with a wonderful view of the Đurđević bridge over Tara, is perfect for rest and relaxation. It covers a beautiful green area of ​​5 hectares of sports fields, wooden cabins, several summer houses, and more space for camping and car camping. In addition to enjoying the sounds of nature and a relaxing vacation in nature, this camp has a great location for hikers and scouts.

Visitors can enjoy all the benefits of Žabljak, Durmitor and the Tara River, from active vacations to local specialties. Fantastic landscapes, tame valleys and wild forests, rapids over which towering black pines and the wonderful blue color of the water take the breath away of even the most discerning world travelers. The Tara River is also an excellent place from which to observe wildlife. The Tara basin is ideal for the life of chamois, because it provides them with the possibility of seasonal movement (in the winter on the peaks of Durmitor, and in the summer in the canyon parishes). Apart from them, the inhabitants of Tar forests and glades are roe deer and wild boar. In the river basin, you can find brook trout, a fish that lives only in extremely clean water, grayling, grayling, grayling and numerous other species. Otters can also be seen on the Tara River, and are very interesting to watch as they enjoy playing. The recorded species of otter on Tara has a flexible and very mobile body. It is extremely capable of diving and can stay in the water for a long time, and its sharp and strong teeth are used to catch prey. This species usually grows between 57 and 95 cm, not counting the tail, which is about 35 to 45 cm long. In winter, they often roll in the snow and slide down frozen slopes. It is believed that the cry of an otter can be heard at a distance of up to 2 km. This species is widespread throughout Europe, North Africa and most of Asia.

  Ulcinjska Solana and Flamingos The Ulcinj Saltworks is one of the largest saltworks in the Mediterranean and one of the rare places in Europe where wild flamingos live. It was declared a wetland of international importance in 2019 and included in the Ramsar world list of wetlands. It is considered the most important habitat for birds on the eastern coast of the Adriatic, suitable for nesting and wintering, but also as a resting place during their migration to Africa and vice versa. The unusual combination of an industrial zone and a unique bird reserve make this experience special. Ulcinjska Solana is 15 km2 long and the entrance is free, and you also get a bicycle so that you can get around the place in a simpler way, while walking takes 3-4 hours at a leisurely pace. The salt pan is a habitat for over 250 different bird species, and it is located on the site of a natural lagoon in the Ada Bojana delta.

For more than 80 years, salt has been produced here from seawater pumped from the Adriatic Sea. From 1935 to 2013, salt was collected at this place, but production stopped due to bankruptcy. To see fantastic specimens of flamingos, you have to go to the very end of the salt pan. After about 5 km of cycling, you will come across a bird observatory where flamingos are mostly stationed. The view of these beautiful and rare birds is really fascinating and much better than in the photos. In the end, you will certainly be surprised by the protected nature and bird life of this wonderful place. Flamingos are unique birds that can be recognized by their white color with shades of pink and red, and black summer feathers, while their beak, except for the tip, is black. The young are grey-brown in color, and turn pink only after the second year of life. They are also recognizable by their pink legs, which are not covered with feathers, as well as by standing on one leg. In this way, they control contact with water and prevent loss of body temperature. The length of flamingos ranges from 160-180 cm, while their wingspan is 270-320 cm. They usually move and feed in large flocks for protection from predators. They feed on small organisms, plankton from the bottom, and their favorite food is shrimps, thanks to which they get the famous pink pigment. The feeding process of flamingos is called filtering. They capture water with their beaks and release it to retain food. In Crnpj Gora, flamingos can be seen most often in the Ulcinj Salt Lake, so don't miss this extraordinary experience.

  Durmitor Ice Cave Did you know that there is a place in Montenegro where winter lasts forever and where icy stalactites and stalagmites capture the attention of daring visitors throughout the year? Exactly, at a height of 2156 m, on one of the many peaks of Durmitor, Obloj Glavi, there is a wonder of nature - the Ice Cave. The cave is covered with eternal snow from the very entrance, which is 40m long and reaches all the way to the ice-bound cave floor. This natural phenomenon can only be accessed by digging in the feet or with the help of a rope.

Numerous ice columns of different sizes and shapes decorate the bottom of the cave, which represents an incredible play of nature, from smaller sizes to several meters high. During the summer months, this cave is often a place for mountaineers to cool off. In a hall 40 m long and 20 m wide, pure ice water dripping from the vaults forms magical human-sized ice figures. The Ice Cave is a habitat for visitors where they can replenish their water supplies while exploring the hidden beauty of one of the most fascinating mountains in Montenegro. 

  Meanders of ijehotina Pljevlja 20 km from Pljevlja, on the Pljevlja-Vrulja road in the village of Mataruge, there is a place from which all the divinity of nature can be seen, namely the meanders of Ćehotina. The Ćehotina River is a mountain river that originates near the town of Donji Kolašin, near the border of Serbia and Montenegro. It is 125 kilometers long and flows through Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, where it flows into the Drina. Due to the canyon area, Otilovic Lake is not accessible to visitors along its entire length. However, there are several points on the lake where boats, kayaks and tour boats can pass.

Ever since the Meander Ćehotine lookout was valorized, an increasing number of tourists have been visiting this area. The beauty of this appetizer is truly breathtaking. The view of the panorama intersected by the river Ćehotina is available for enjoyment from the viewpoint located 20 km from the city, on the Pljevlja-Vrulja road, in the village of Mataruge. From the Meander Ćehotine lookout point, the view extends to the spectacular bends of the river that makes its course among the hills. The view as if painted is completed by a centuries-old pine that defies time.

To fully experience this fascinating place, you can get up early in the morning to have the palace to yourself, enjoy the large terrace or the magnificent indoor pool without many people around. Spend Time Among Bat Explorers If you are interested or at least partially curious to see bats, during your visit to Montenegro is an opportunity! There are over 29 species or four families of bats in Montenegro. According to experts, there is a possibility of finding at least four to five more species.  Did you know that as the most valuable regulator of the number of insects on earth, bats have existed for more than 50 million years, and that in an almost unchanged flying form? Amazing, isn't it? Not only in Cronj Gora, but also in the Balkans, they are registered in around 200 locations to date. The research was mainly carried out in the coastal area and Lake Skadar, because those locations are the most accessible for research. Lake Skadar is the most important habitat in Montenegro for bats. During the winter inspection of the shelter, in 2015, the largest known winter colony of bats in the southwestern Balkans was found. As one of the best natural indicators of environmental health, they can be found in this area at all altitudes, from zero to 1900m.
