Koliko vremena treba za Mateševo?

Nekoliko sati

1Take the last exit and look at it: a motorway simply stops, at a toll plaza, in a hamlet
2The Tara under the road — eight kilometres upstream it is still two streams
3One of the village springs; a dozen are mapped in and above Mateševo
4The junction itself: north for Kolašin and Bjelasica, east for Trešnjevik and the Komovi

Twenty minutes at the last exit, and the geography of northern Montenegro explains itself.

1East up the Trešnjevik road, seventeen kilometres of hairpins to the 1,568-metre pass
2The Komovi from the top: Kom Kučki 2,487 m, Kom Ljevorečki 2,469 m, Kom Vasojevićki 2,460 m
3Down the far side to Andrijevica — 34.7 km end to end, an hour if nothing stops you
4Back over the pass, or the long loop home through Berane and Mojkovac

Kilometres from Podgorica Airport, driving

Fifty-eight kilometres and fifty-eight minutes. The motorway took the Morača canyon out of the drive, and it made a village of forty-eight people the closest thing the northern mountains have to a front door.

Kolašin municipality by settlement

Residents, 2023 census

Mateševo is 27th of the municipality’s 70 settlements. Eighteen of the 70 carry no figure at all: MONSTAT withholds any cell under ten, which covers seventeen Kolašin villages, and an eighteenth, Izlasci, had nobody left to count.

A junction, four times over

Mateševo has never been a destination. It has been the place where the road from Podgorica meets the road to Andrijevica, in every century that has had a road. Widths are to scale.

A day at the end of the motorway

Traffic, not tourism — the junction sets the hours

07:00the toll plaza sits at the Mateševo end: €3.50 for a car, €1.50 for a motorcycle
11:00the road east is 34.7 km to Andrijevica over a 1,568-metre pass — allow an hour, not half of one
14:00springs run through the village, and the Tara here is fly-fishing water rather than rafting water
19:00Kolašin, ten kilometres north, has the beds; Mateševo has the junction

Često postavljana pitanja o gradu Mateševo

Gdje se nalazi Mateševo?

Mateševo je planinsko naselje u opštini Kolašin, rijetko razbacano dolinom gdje se sastaju izvorišni kraci Tare. Bjelasica se diže na zapadu, a kule Komova na istoku, i vazduh je osjetno hladniji nego u dolinama ispod.

Zašto se o Mateševu govori?

Zbog autoputa. Prva dionica pravca Bar–Boljare, od Smokovca iznad Podgorice kroz kanjon Morače, otvorena je 2022. i zasad se ovdje završava, pa vožnja koja je nekad značila sat krivina uz rijeku sada stiže direktno.

Šta to mijenja?

Koliko se lako stiže na sjever države. Nastaje neobičan susret razmjera — nekoliko planinskih kuća na ustima savremenog autoputa — i mnogo kraći put od Podgorice do Kolašina, Mojkovca i Tare.

Šta se ovdje može raditi?

Sam teren. Mateševo je na ulazu u ozbiljan planinarski kraj: vrhovima Komova i njihovim ljetnjim katunima prilazi se sa strane Trešnjevika, a livade Bjelasice i nacionalni park Biogradska gora su kratka vožnja zapadno, iza Kolašina.

Šta je u blizini?

Kanjon Morače s manastirom Morača iz 13. vijeka u sredini odmah je na jugu, Tara iz ovih dolina počinje svoj dugi tok na sjever, a Kolašin sa stazama i hotelima udaljen je oko 20 km.

Ima li gdje da se odsjedne?

Sadržaji idu dokle ih malo planinsko selo nosi, i ne dalje. Mjesto odgovara planinarima, ribolovcima i vozačima koji prekidaju put na sjever, a ne onima koji traže turistički centar; hoteli su u Kolašinu.

Šematski prikaz. Položaji i udaljenosti mjereni su vazdušnom linijom, prema koordinatama koje imamo za svako mjesto; zbog planinskih puteva vožnja je duža. Podebljana linija označava obalu na dijelu koji prolazi kroz ovaj prikaz. Obala i Skadarsko jezero © OpenStreetMap contributors.

The pass is the reason to stop at Mateševo rather than drive through it. A tunnel under Trešnjevik is due by 2030, and this drive will then be optional.

Vikend

1Day one in the Komovi, katun country worked by the Vasojevići and the Kuči and a nature park since 2018
2Night in Kolašin, ten kilometres north at 954 metres
3Day two in Biogradska Gora — 54 km², a national park since 1952 and a UNESCO biosphere reserve since 1977
4Home down the motorway: 58 km to the airport, over the Moračica bridge

Mateševo is a base by accident of road-building, and a good one: two mountain ranges within an hour and the capital’s airport within another.

Popis stanovništva, opština Mateševo

Two hundred and sixty people lived here in 1948 and forty-eight do now. The village emptied while the road through it was upgraded twice — a Yugoslav highway in 1984, a motorway in 2022 — which is the whole point about Mateševo: everything built here was built to pass through.

U međuvremenu — 2022

The year the motorway arrived

Mateševo, 13 July 2022: the first 41 kilometres of the Bar–Boljare motorway open, from Smokovac outside Podgorica to here, and stop. Montenegro’s only motorway begins at the capital and ends in a village of forty-eight people.
Moračica — the section’s signature structure, and nineteen further bridges behind it: 960 metres long, 23.4 metres wide, 100,000 cubic metres of concrete, its carriageway 205 metres above the bed of the Morača. It is the tallest bridge yet built in the former Yugoslavia and cost €70 million on its own. The longest tunnel on the section, Vjeternik, runs 3,039 metres.
The bill — work started on 11 May 2015 and was due to finish in May 2019; it opened in July 2022, at a cost of roughly a billion US dollars for forty-one kilometres. A car pays €3.50 to use it, a motorcycle €1.50.
Four years on — on 26 June 2026 preparatory works began on the next leg, Mateševo to Andrijevica: 22 to 23 kilometres for €694 million, with an EBRD credit of up to €200 million and an EU grant of up to €150 million, a tunnel under Trešnjevik and 21 bridges totalling 4.8 kilometres. Completion is planned for the end of 2030.

Glasovi

“Only horse tracks connect this nahiya to the others. The chief one runs from Kolašin by way of Mateševo, joining it to Andrijevica and Podgorica.”

Zemljopis Knjaževine Crne Gore, Cetinje 1895

Đuro Popović and Jovan Roganović, in their geography of the Principality of Montenegro, on the Morača nahiya. The line they describe is the one twice rebuilt since: a motorway at the Podgorica end, a 1,568-metre pass at the Andrijevica end.

Tara trout

The Tara is a rafting river downstream — the last 25 kilometres of it, in the canyon. Up here it is a fishing river, and the stretch through the Kolašin valley is the one named for fly fishing. Trout off a wood grill, potato and young cheese alongside.
