Ivanova Korita is a shallow, grassy basin near the centre of Lovcen National Park, ringed by old beech and black pine at around 1,250 metres. It has been the park's recreation hub for decades: a cluster of bungalows and sports pitches, marked hiking and mountain-bike trails leaving in several directions, and enough snow most winters for sledging and cross-country skiing. The karst meadows fill with wildflowers in June, and the air carries pine and sea salt together, because the Adriatic is only one ridge away.
The park's landmark is the Njegos Mausoleum on Jezerski vrh, reached by road and then 461 steps, with a viewing terrace that on a clear day takes in the Bay of Kotor, the Skadar lake basin and the Albanian mountains at once. Cetinje, the old royal capital with its monastery and palace museums, lies about fifteen kilometres downhill, and the serpentine road toward Kotor, twenty-five numbered hairpins stacked above the bay, is one of the great drives in the Balkans. Families here tend to build the day around movement: a morning among the trees, a picnic on the meadow, then the mausoleum in late afternoon when the light is long and the coach groups have gone.
