Eco Accommodation Šćepanović - Kolašin

Eco Accommodation Šćepanović is a one-bedroom apartment in Kolašin, in Montenegro's northern mountain region. It sleeps two guests in a single bed, with one bathroom, making it a straightforward choice for a couple or two friends using Kolašin as a base for the surrounding highlands. The wider Šćepanović property sits at Goleš, at 1,600 m elevation on Bjelasica mountain adjacent to Biogradska Gora National Park, where the family also runs mountain cabins and serves traditional home-cooked meals. Walking trails from Goleš lead to Biogradsko Lake, Vranjak, and the Crna Glava peak — the highest point on Bjelasica. Hot water at the mountain lodge is supplied daily by solar panels. Kolašin itself is a compact mountain town, well placed for hiking in warmer months and for reaching the nearby ski area in winter. Rates are available on request; specific apartment amenities are not listed, so confirm details directly with the host.

About the area

Goleš is a katun — one of the seasonal shepherds' settlements that have dotted Bjelasica's high pastures for centuries, occupied through the summer months when families move livestock up from the valley. At roughly 1,600 metres the air is thin and cold-edged even in August, the meadows run to wildflowers and juniper, and the boundary of Biogradska Gora National Park begins essentially at the doorstep. The park protects one of the last stands of primeval forest left in Europe, and Biogradsko Lake sits below in a bowl of beech and spruce; a walking route links the katun to the lakeshore, with others running toward the neighbouring katun at Vranjak and up to Crna Glava, the highest summit on Bjelasica.

Getting here means committing to a mountain road — the centre of Kolašin is about 18 kilometres away, the village of Trebaljevo about 12 — and that distance is what buys the quiet. What you eat at this altitude is what the highlands produce: kačamak and cicvara made with kajmak, lamb slow-cooked in milk or under a sač lid, sheep's cheese, sour milk, forest honey and bread baked the same morning. Evenings belong to the dark, because there is no light pollution up here, and the temperature drops fast once the sun goes behind the ridge.
