Day 1: Spiritual Heights & Mountain Wilderness
Kotor/Coastal Departure – Ostrog Monastery – Žabljak – Black Lake – Rafting Camp
Morning: Visit to Ostrog Monastery
The day begins with a morning departure and drive inland to Ostrog Monastery, Montenegro’s most sacred site. Built dramatically into a vertical cliff, Ostrog is a place of miracles and pilgrimage.

Midday: Journey to Durmitor & Crno Jezero (Black Lake)
After this spiritual beginning, the tour continues north through dramatic canyons and pine-covered valleys to the town of Žabljak, the gateway to Durmitor National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site). Upon arrival, you’ll visit Crno Jezero (Black Lake)—a glacial lake surrounded by tall spruce forests and rugged mountain peaks.
Enjoy a walk around the lake, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and admire the reflection of Medjed Peak in the deep blue waters.
