Phenomenal Nature Diversity

Montenegro is one of the smallest nations in the Balkans, covering less than 14,000 square kilometers and home to under 650,000 people. Yet nonetheless, Montenegro has managed to cram into its borders magnificent mountains and valleys, the majority of the area's largest lake, a lovely section of Adriatic coastline, and of course the famed Bay of Kotor. Skadar Lake National Park, which has a 475 km2 area, is a lake that, in some areas, even dips below sea level. It is renowned for its distinctive flora and wildlife and is a haven for birdwatchers. Additionally, this is a location where you may see Dalmatian pelicans, the only remaining species in all of Europe.

The Biogradska Gora National Park in Montenegro is home to one of the three remaining rainforests in Europe, and despite the country's incredible water abundance, more than 40% of the country is covered in forest carpets. In contrast, the longest canyon in Europe and the second-largest in the world (behind the Grand Canyon of Colorado) is the Tara River Canyon in Durmitor National Park, which has a depth of 1300 meters.
