10 days in Montenegro June 2019: Day 2 from Pluzine to Zabljak


The mountain road from Pluzine to Zabljak


The Durmitor National Park will be one of the most incredible unexpected delights of your trip around in Montenegro. 

The road wound its way up Mount Sedlo to the Sedlo Pass, which at 1907m above sea level, is the highest paved pass in Montenegro. There was a little parking lot at the top so we pulled over for a better look. Looking towards Zabljak, the mountains loomed high on each side of rugged the valley with Valovito Jezero glacial lake glittering below. 

Breathtaking Durmitor National Park was formed by glaciers and is traversed by rivers and underground streams. Along the Tara river canyon, which has the deepest gorges in Europe, the dense pine forests are interspersed with clear lakes and harbour a wide range of endemic flora.
