It is simply beautiful to walk through this national park, through the trees and primary Forests, watching katuns, sheep, and shepherds. Locals are very helpful and offer food. Though there are trails through the park it is still very pristine and green. The trails are all well marked with signs.

Moraca Monastery are famous with its huge stonewalls, the largest medieval Orthodox monument in Montenegro, built in 1252. No photo is allowed inside the small church. However there are three art in this church worth the visit. The door, and two painting. Monk still lives there and you can hear their chanting. They grow their own vegetable and honey. It is really peaceful just sit on the bench to admire the surrounding.
3. Biogradska Gora Lake
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 100 reviews
The Lake is 1.100m long and 410m wide, and it is extremely abundant with fish, especially trout. During the spring and summer, the best way for you to familiarise yourself with this area is to walk down a 3km long walking trail surrounding the Lake. During the winter, the Lake surface freezes over and it is often traversed by deer and hinds.
Reviewed By KDavies99 - London, United Kingdom
Lake is very pretty and there is a short 3km walk that is enjoyable. €3 entry to the park. Drive up the hill to the lake rather than leave your car at the bottom. It's quite a trek and costs no extra although parking at the top is limited.
4. Biogradska Gora National Park Visitor Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 21 reviews
The National Park Visitor Centre is located on the shore of the Biograd Lake. It has an interactive presentation, as well as with a set of exhibits which represent the most important natural and cultural values of the Park.
Reviewed By David B - Coral Gables, Florida
The visitor center is a bit small but the exhibits and staff were fine. There you can learn a bit about the wildlife in the protected woods. The only drawback to its size is when tourist busses come in. The facilities and the boat dock get a bit crowded and multiple busses can arrive at once.

Good ski resort, lot of ski slopes (20 km) and lifts for very correct ski-pass price (15 eur/day), good choice of equipment for rent. They are currently building one more ski resort on higher elevation, so it will be very good for this area.

Great place to visit. The hike towards the view is awesome. Good trail. Walk through old forrest which is full of sounds. A lot of climbing which is demanding for some.

Bjelasica is one of the snowiest Mountains in Europe and the ski center Kolasin 1450 has over 30 km of ski slopes. In summer, this is one of the favorite destinations for hiking and biking.

This mountain is perfect for kids and elderly or not so fit people to hike easy trails yet see beautiful views. There are lakes too and katuns in the area. Plus mountain huts. We started from Vranjak mountain hut (it's lovely place) and hiked to Crna Glava peak and then onwards to Biogradska Lake.
8. Komovi Mountain Range

This mountain range which is located between Bjelasica and Prokletije is characterized by vast beech and coniferous Forests, a multitude of lakes, mountain Springs and rivers. It is an excellent idea for a day trip from Kolasin and has marked hiking and biking trails.

We hiked through Komovi for few days climbing many peaks and it was amazing. You can camp anywhere and there were wild berries everywhere. Plenty of water, katuns and local people are super friendly. We climbed Stitan, Surdup, Maglic, Pesjak, Kucki Kom, Vasojevicki Kom, etc. The St Elias Church at Carine Katun is worth a see

In the small town of Kolasin that was a battlefield during the second world war, there is an impressive small cemetery that commemorates partisans who fell in the area during the war. Simple, clean and well kept leaves you with admiration to the only state in Europe who won the battle against the Nazis by itself (with technical and operational help of the Allies - but the fighting was done by the Yugoslav people themselves under the command of Tito)

A small botanical garden in the yard of a simple private house in Kolasin in central Montenegro. The owner Daniel Vincek, a lovely person in his eighties planted all these trees, flowers, bushes.
The meeting with him adds a lot to the small charming garden that offers big variety of plants from all over.
