Experience Montenegrin nature

The landscapes of this Biogradska Gora National Park are comprised of forests, meadows, water basins, and mountain heaths. In addition to the largest lake, Biogradsko Lake, the national park is adorned with three more lakes – Ursulovačko, Pešića, and Šiško. Some of the trees within Biogardska Gora are estimated to be over 400 years old, and some of them are more than 40 m high.

This park represents one of the first protected areas in Europe, and this act was regarded as visionary back in 1878. Montenegro has become one of the first European countries to initiate the preservation of nature in such a systematic manner.

Biogradska Gora accommodates 26 floral communities with about 2000 species, amongst which 20% include endemic species of the Balkan peninsula. The largest is the bird population, especially forest songbirds, but there are also predators, while the population of insects, reptiles, and amphibians make an important link in the preservation of an ecological balance of the ecosystem.

As you can already gather, the ecosystem of primaeval forests represents a strictly protected natural reserve, and besides the ever-present fish fauna, the fauna of water insects holds great significance. Rocky mountainsides and peaks are home to some of the rare bird predators, such as the griffon vulture and hawk, which is why this is one of the must-visit places in Montenegro.
