Exploring Durmitor National Park: A Haven of Natural Beauty and Adventure in Montenegro
17.04.2024
Durmitor National Park, located in the mountainous region of North-western Montenegro, offers a breathtaking landscape of pristine natural beauty. This UNESCO World Heritage site, established in 1952, spans over 390 square kilometres and is renowned for its dramatic mountain peaks, dense pine forests, and deep river canyons, including the famous Tara River Canyon, one of the deepest river gorges in Europe.The park's landscape is dominated by the Durmitor Massif, which features 48 peaks above 2,000 meters, with the highest, Bobotov Kuk, reaching 2,523 meters. This rugged terrain is not only a haven for hikers and mountaineers but also supports a diverse ecosystem. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including brown bears, wolves, and chamois, and boasts over 1,600 species of plants, some of which are endemic to the area.
Durmitor’s glacial lakes, known locally as "mountain eyes," are another of its standout features. There are 18 glacial lakes scattered across the park, with the largest and most famous, Black Lake, being a popular destination for visitors. These lakes are known for their distinctive blue and green colors and offer picturesque settings for walking and relaxation.
The park is also a cultural treasure trove, reflecting the historical lifestyle of the highland tribes of Montenegro. Traditional shepherd’s dwellings can still be seen, and the area's rich history is reflected in the folklore and traditions of the local communities.
Durmitor National Park is not just a summer destination; during winter, the thick snow transforms the park into a popular ski resort, with facilities for both Alpine and Nordic skiing. This dual-season appeal makes Durmitor a year-round destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
For those interested in sustainable tourism, Durmitor National Park provides an exemplary model of how natural beauty can be preserved while accommodating tourists. Its management focuses on conservation and sustainable practices to ensure that the park remains a pristine environment for future generations to enjoy.
In summary, Durmitor National Park is a magnificent representation of Montenegro's wild beauty and a testament to nature's power to awe and inspire. Whether one seeks solitude in nature, adventurous treks, or simply a peaceful retreat from the modern world, Durmitor provides an ideal setting.

Dear CMM team, just to leave a small feedback on the superjob you've done ! It was not an easy period for us with a child. As we had to sell our home property and decided alternatively buy some nice house at Montenegrin coast. We were truly frightened at the start. My colleague, being your customer, gave a good recommendation, so, we called the office. All the part, covering seach and purchase in Montenegro, was quickly, safe and perfectly done. Good luck and further success and propsperity to the company! Special thanks to Alexander and Snezana for professional approach!

Always thought that buying property abroad isnervous and difficult task. CMM changed my mindset. I felt support and care in every step: from the first call arranged till receiving the Owner's list. I am also happy about how they make my apartment management. Now, whenever me or my family members come home to Montenegro, I am absolutely confident that my apartment is in the best condition!

CMM is supergood in diplomatic dealing with all sides. I found the apartment I wanted in Montenegro, though the previous owner was behaving awfully and didn't want to bargain. Your managers somehow managed to agree the acceptable price so that we could start with deal. Professional advice on every step helped me avoid numerous mistakes possible. You have all that a naughty customer needs! Also thanks for the wonderful natures shown and nice coffeeshops/dineries =) Now recommending CMM Group to those planning to move or long vacations in Montenegro. Great management and attitude!
