Exactly 461 stairs lead to Jezerski Vrh, which is located at an altitude of 1660 m above sea level, where the Mausoleum dedicated to Petar II Petrovic Njegos was opened in 1974, making it the mausoleum at the highest altitude in the world at the time. The location of today's Mausoleum housed a humble chapel which Njegos constructed in 1845 to be his eternal resting place.

The mausoleum is about a 1 1/2 hours drive up from Kotor. A road full of hairpin bends and sharp drops for about 45 mins - 1 hour before it levels off more in the national park. It is well worth the drive though because of the absolutely spectacular view at the top. It truly is like being on top of the world! At the mausoleum there is a little gift area and a nice restaurant with lovely views too. On a really clear day I'm told you can see as far as Lake Skadar. Stunning! Don't miss it!
