Boljanići

Boljanići is a village in inland Montenegro, one of the many scattered rural settlements that fill the country's interior between the larger towns. It follows the pattern typical of the region: houses spread across a broad slope rather than gathered into a centre, each with its own garden, hayfield and outbuildings, and pasture and forest running up to the ridgelines above. There is no square, no promenade and nothing built for visitors, which is exactly the character that makes places like this worth a detour for travellers curious about how rural Montenegro is actually organised.
