Rožaje is located in the wooded area of ​​northeastern Montenegro, about 40 kilometers from Beran (see above), at 945 m above sea level and near the source of the river Ibar. During the time of the Turks, this small town was called Trgovište, since this area has always been traded in: livestock, wool, tallow, leather, meat and dairy products, wood, and even gold. The city is dominated by a mixture of oriental and contemporary architecture. The wealthy residents of Rožaj almost gave up on building the city on the assets of the dominant past, so they started to build modern villas in the way they thought fit, and in a manner that makes a visible departure from the past. Sumptuous villas adorn the Rožaj panorama, as well as the one around the perimeter of this settlement almost on the border with Kosovo.

After the Second World War, the former small town also changed its previous appearance. She built factories, invited workers from the surrounding villages, offered them jobs and built apartments. Rožaje has always been known for its wealth of natural resources. Thus, a woodworking plant, the decorative paper and pulp industry, and numerous small, successful entrepreneurs have been operating here for decades. The wood industry is the main economic branch of this region.

Rožaje and its surroundings abound in forest belts under pine, fir and beech trees. It is unnecessary to emphasize the extent to which such a green background can influence the conifer aroma that can be felt and breathed in here. Therefore, Rožaje is a pleasant climatic place with no competition in the surrounding area, and if only compared to western picnic spots and mountain resorts. Unlike similar geographically idyllic isolated geographical posts, Rožaje offers an unadulterated ecology. Everything here that can be harvested in nature, smelled, bought at the market or tasted in any other way - is ecological, almost virgin.

The mountain range Žljeb and Turjak rises above Rožaj, between Rožaj and Beran. On the top of Mount Gospoðin, historically engaged on the side of this people, although a Westerner, Jelena of Anjou built a settlement with a church. Today, the church is in ruins. The famous Ganica tower from 1802 is located in the city itself on the right bank of the river Ibar. Rojaje leave no doubt: Where are you going out tonight? The city and its surroundings are divided into hotels, which, on the other hand, are distinguished by having a good time all year round, with an accent, of course, on the winter tourist season. Extremely luxurious cafes, cafe-bars and restaurants - guarantee a good time until late at night.

Excursion tourism in Rožaj has no shortage of ecological offers here. Wherever one goes, on an organized or personal initiative, one encounters geographical surprises in comparison to which in classical, analogue times, all the film was wasted! At the foot of the nearby mountain Hajla, tourists are confronted with the meanders of wonders: as many as six drinking springs form the river Ibar! All around are conifer forests, whose winter snow and silence are disturbed only by the sound of streams.

When it comes to cultural and entertainment events, the "Golden Snowflake" Festival of children's and youth songs should be highlighted. The stay in Rožaje will be detailed every day by local radio stations, with answers to questions: what's current, where tonight, how the service is and the weather forecast. When the winter weather permits, it is worth visiting those very close to the rural area, especially the villages: Seošnica, Kalace, Koljeno, Dacice, Kaluðerski Laz, Balotice, Bijela Crkva, Besnik...
