Vuković Apartments - Žabljak

Vuković Apartments sits in one of Žabljak's most appealing corners, just 300 meters from the town centre on the road leading toward Black Lake. This one-bedroom apartment accommodates 2 guests, with a single bed setup, one bathroom, a living room, a kitchen and its own terrace. Central heating keeps the space comfortable through the cold northern Montenegrin winters, when Žabljak becomes a base for skiing and snow walks in Durmitor. The apartment is one of two in the house, so the property stays quiet and personal. Owners can arrange activities directly for guests, tailored to what you want to do: Tara river rafting, canyon tours, bungee jumping, guided hiking expeditions and jeep tours into the surrounding highlands. It suits couples or two friends who want a straightforward, well-heated home base within walking distance of both the centre and the trailheads.

About the area

Three hundred metres from the centre of Žabljak, on the side of town that faces the Black Lake, the houses give way to meadow and pine. It is the direction almost every walk begins in: the road becomes a track, the track enters national park forest, and after about half an hour on foot Crno jezero appears below the grey wall of Meded, its two basins joined by a shallow neck that dries into a meadow by late summer.

From there the mountain opens up. A marked path climbs past Zminje jezero and the ice cave toward Bobotov Kuk, at 2,523 metres the classic Durmitor summit and a long but non-technical day. The Sedlo pass road and the ring route around the massif suit jeep and cycling trips, while the canyons take over the rest of the programme: rafting on the Tara beneath cliffs more than a kilometre high, and the rope-and-swim descent of Nevidio on the Komarnica, open only for a short window in high summer. Back in town, guides, rental shops and restaurants serving lamb, kačamak and mountain cheese are all inside a five-minute walk, and the Savin Kuk lifts take over from December.
