Durmitor National Park
Durmitor National Park, located near the mountain town of Abljak, is another popular natural attraction. It is situated in the Dinaric Alps in northwestern Montenegro. This UNESCO World Heritage site, Montenegro's largest national park, covers an area of 79,000 acres (32,100 ha) and is home to 18 glacial lakes, the Tara River, and the world's second deepest canyon (see Tara Canyon below).
It also has dense forest and wildlife, including brown bears, wild boars, and 163 different bird species. In the winter, you can go skiing or snowboarding, and in the summer, you can hike and camp.
The Durmitor is a mountain range, known locally as a massif, with 48 distinct peaks, the highest of which is Bobotov Ku (2,523 m). There are 18 different glacial lakes in the Durmitor massif and neighboring plateau. The massif is made of limestone and is surrounded by European Black Pine as well as other rare and endemic plant species.
The Durmitor massif is surrounded by three canyons: Draga Canyon, Susica Canyon, and Tara River Canyon. The Tara River Canyon is 4,265 feet (1,300 m) deep and 49.7 miles (80 km) long, making it Europe's deepest and possibly the second largest gorge after the Grand Canyon.
