Danilovgrad sits in the Bjelopavlici plain where the Zeta river slows across some of Montenegro's most fertile ground, and Bralenovica puts you on the Niksic to Podgorica road that has always carried the country's inland traffic. That position is the point. Podgorica is about twenty kilometres south, Niksic a similar distance north-west, and the routes toward Bosnia, the coast and Albania all pass this way, which makes an efficient overnight stop for anyone driving Montenegro rather than sitting still in it.
It is also the closest comfortable base to Ostrog. The monastery, built into a vertical cliff face high above the valley and whitewashed against the grey rock, is the most visited pilgrimage site in the country and roughly half an hour away by the winding upper road, best reached early before the coaches. Around Danilovgrad the valley is planted with vineyards and orchards, and the Zeta runs clear enough for swimming in the shallow bends outside town. Local kitchens are inland kitchens: lamb and veal cooked under the sac, river trout, and the dark red Vranac from the vineyards you pass on the way in. The mountains at Niksic and the road north toward Durmitor open up from here too.
