Centralna Crna Gora

Dragalj

A karst plain at 640 m behind the mountain from Risan, with 46 people and 14 households left on it — and the winter it made Vienna drop conscription.

Dragalj je mali grad blizu Nikšića, smješteno usred dramatičnog kraškog krajolika zapadnog dijela centralne Crne Gore. Teren odlikuju suve krečnjačke zaravni, vrtače i rijetki travnjaci. To je zabačeno i mirno naselje koje nudi autentičan pogled na život u surovoj unutrašnjosti Crne Gore.

Dragalj: zabačena kraška visoravan između Risna i Nikšića

Dragalj je zabačena kraška visoravan između Risna i Nikšića, s veličanstvenim krečnjačkim formacijama, napuštenim kamenim pastirskim naseljima i predjelom izuzetne ljepote daleko od svake infrastrukture — jedno od geološki najdramatičnijih i najmanje posjećenih mjesta u Crnoj Gori.

Koliko vremena treba za Dragalj?

Nekoliko sati

1Leave the coast at Lipci, five kilometres west of Risan, where the plateau road turns inland
2The polje floor — fluvioglacial gravel and sand over an old glacier bed, and soil too thin to farm well
3Pokrov Bogorodice, the village church of 1867
4The terminal moraine the Orjen glacier left across the polje: 140 m of angular limestone, in Cvijić’s description of it
5Four kilometres north to Grahovo, the nearest crossroads on the plateau

Half a morning and a full tank — nothing up here sells fuel or lunch.

Cio dan

1Risan first, for the five Roman mosaics — the best of their period in Montenegro
2Up to Dragaljsko polje and the church
3Thirteen kilometres on to Crkvice: an Austro-Hungarian garrison of over 150 buildings, Fort Kom and Fort Stražnik, down to fifteen residents, under 5,100 mm of rain a year

Gdje odsjesti — Dragalj

Risan

Najbolje za the base everyone actually uses: 1,899 residents, hotels and apartments on the bay, 28 km and 35 minutes below the polje

Morinj and Lipci

Najbolje za the two shore villages at the foot of the plateau road — apartments on the water at Morinj, and the turn inland at Lipci

Grahovo

Najbolje za the nearest inhabited crossroads, a hundred and two people 4 km north on the Nikšić road; there is nothing to book in Dragalj itself

Ko živi ovdje

Popis stanovništva, opština Dragalj

257 people in 1948, 32 by 2003, 46 in 2023 — and old: of the 46, eleven are over 70 and ten are in their fifties, with every other age band too small for MONSTAT to publish. Krivošije as a whole, roughly a third of Kotor municipality by area, held 1,053 people in 1953 and about 110 in 2018.

The third of Kotor that fought back

The Congress of Vienna handed the plateau to Austria in 1814. Twice, in 1869 and again in 1881, Krivošije refused to give Vienna its conscripts. Widths are to scale.

Sea level to the polje

Five kilometres along the water, then twenty-three up and over the rim

Read off the SRTM and ASTER elevation models at thirteen equal points along the 27.8 km drive from Risan. The road tops out near 680 m and then drops into the basin, which is why the village is not the high point; 640 m is the figure given for the polje floor itself.

Često postavljana pitanja o gradu Dragalj

Gdje se nalazi Dragalj?

Istražite takođe u regionu Centralna Crna Gora

en.wikipedia (Krivošije; Krivošije uprising 1869; 32nd Infantry Division "Marche"); Dinarsko gorje.

Dragalj je mali grad u visokom kršu između Nikšića i Bokokotorskog zaliva, iza Risna, smješteno u plitkom krečnjačkom polju koje drži jedino ravno i obradivo zemljište nadaleko.

Kakav je predio?

Suha siva stijena, vrtače, po koja bukva i kleka, i trava koja u proljeće brzo ozeleni, a do avgusta izgori. Kiša nestane pod zemlju gotovo čim padne, zato su naselja na dnu ovih polja, a svaka stara kuća građena je oko čatrnje.

Kakvu istoriju ima?

Ovi visovi bili su strateška granica pod Austrougarskom, koja je preko njih probila vojne puteve i podigla kamene utvrde da drži prevoje. Stanovništvo se u drugoj polovini 19. vijeka dvaput diglo protiv Beča, a ruševine kasarni i danas stoje uz puteve.

Živi li još neko tamo?

Malo stalnog stanovništva, i više kuća nego domaćinstava. Neke sezonski koriste porodice koje ljeti dolaze s primorja, kad je zaravan osjetno hladnija od Kotora. Ovce i dalje pasu po polju.

Kakva je vožnja gore?

Put iz Risna penje se oštrim serpentinama, sa zalivom koji se otvara iza vas, pa se izravna u predio koji djeluje kao sasvim druga zemlja i nastavlja prema Grahovu i Nikšiću. Zapadno su visovi Orjena za planinare.

Šta treba znati prije polaska?

Sadržaja praktično nema — ni prodavnice ni goriva na koje se može računati — a mobilni signal dolazi i odlazi. Sezona je od kasnog proljeća do oktobra; zima donosi snijeg i putevi znaju biti teški.

Ima li aerodrom u Draglju?

Ne — najbliži je aerodrom Tivat (TIV), 38 km putem.

Dragalj – Crkvice: koliko je kilometara?

7,4 km putem, oko 14 min vožnje.

Koliko je bezbjedno u Draglju?

Britansko Ministarstvo inostranih poslova (FCDO) nema upozorenje protiv putovanja u Crnu Goru; svoje smjernice je posljednji put revidiralo 13. avgusta 2026.

One road, from the mosaics at sea level to the saddle under Orjen, with emptied villages on both sides of it.

U međuvremenu — 1869

The year the plateau stopped an empire

Ledenice, 7 October 1869: the first shot of the Krivošije uprising. Vienna had extended the 1868 Defence Act to a plateau whose men had never been obliged to serve in anyone’s army.
Dragalj — one of six villages the insurgents held. About a thousand fighters faced five Austro-Hungarian battalions, eighteen by November, and a force of more than thirteen thousand. Ten thousand of those had to come by sea: Ottoman Sutorina cut the Kotor district off from the rest of the empire, and the roads were no use.
Knežlaz, 11 January 1870: the peace. Conscription was abandoned, a general pardon was granted to every insurgent, and the men who surrendered to General Gavrilo Rodić walked home still carrying their rifles.
Elsewhere in 1869 — the Suez Canal opens in November, and in Saint Petersburg Mendeleev sets out the first periodic table. Vienna comes back in 1881 with conscription for its new provinces and a renewed claim on Krivošije, gets a second rising, and answers with a fortification system instead of an argument.

Glasovi

“Around 250 houses and 1,200 souls, all of the Orthodox faith.”

Vuk Stefanović Karadžić on Krivošije, 1834

His count is quoted in the Dinarsko gorje survey of the plateau. The 2023 census finds 46 people in Dragalj and none at all in Han, Knežlaz, Malov Do, Unijerina or Zvečava.

“Conscription was abandoned and a general pardon was granted to all insurgents.”

The terms of the peace at Knežlaz, 11 January 1870

Wikipedia’s account of the Krivošije uprising, citing Rothenberg’s history of the Austrian army: the rebels surrendered to General Gavrilo Rodić and were allowed to keep their weapons.
