Črna gora, Durmitor / Montenegro, Durmitor

Zame je Durmitor najlepši nacionalni park v Črni gori. Durmitor je pravzaprav gorska veriga. Tu so na voljo vse možne aktivnosti povezane z hribi: pohodništvo, plezanje, rafting, kolesarjenje, smučanje in še kaj bi se našlo. Na tem območju se nahaja Bobotov Kuk 2523m, najvišji hrib Črne gore. V teh krajih lahko občudujemo številna jezera, kanjone in ledeno jamo.

For me the most beautiful national park in Montenegro is Durmitor, which is a mountain range. It offers mountain related activities like hiking, climbing, rafting, cycling, skiing and many others. Here lies Bobotov Kuk 2523 m, the highest peak of Montenegro. Several mountain lakes, canyons and an ice cave are also located in this beautiful area.

Črno jezero se nahaja blizu Žabljaka, kjer smo kampirali. Med našim obiskom je bilo močno oblačno z rahlih dežjem, kar pa nam ni preprečilo sprehoda po gozdu, opazovanja cvetlic in račk v jezeru.
Black lake is located near Žabljak, where we were camping. During our visit it was light rain and very cloudy. Despite the weather we enjoyed walking in the forest, observing wild flowers and ducks playing in the lake.

Izlet z avtom iz Žabljaka do gorskega prelaza Sedlo 1900m in naprej do vasi Trsa ponuja čudovite razglede na gorsko pokrajino.
A road trip from Žabljak to the mountain pass Sedlo 1900m and forward to village Trsa offers great views of the mountain landscape.

Zjutraj smo se ustavili v Šarbanu in se odpravili na Prutaš 2393m. Po uri hoje smo dosegli Škrčko žrelo 2114 m, kjer se nam je odprl čudovit pogled na Bobotov Kuk in Šarene pasove. Zeleno-belo črtasto goro! Tukaj veš, da domišljija narave res nima meja.

In the morning we stopped in Šarban and visited Prutaš 2393 m. After about an hour we reached Škrko žrelo 2114 m, where we had a great view of Bobotov Kuk and Šarene pasove, a green and white striped mountain! The imagination of nature has no limits.

Med hojo smo lahko opazovali travnike polne cvetlic. V daljavi smo videli Škrčko jezero.
We continued our trip to the peak of Prutaš whilst watching flowered mountain meadows. The Škrčko lake could be seen, too.

Južna stran Prutaša je sestavljena iz ravnih kamnitih plasti stisnjenih skupaj.
The south hillside of Prutaš consists of straight rock layers compressed together.

Ostanki snega na vrhu so bili kot nalašč za kepanje.
Some snow on the peak offered a change for fun.

Kanjon Tare je najgloblji kanjon v Evropi. Ustavili smo se v vasi Djurdjevica Tara, ki je od Žabljaka oddaljena približno uro vožnje in občudovali most čez reko. Čez kanjon je postavljen najdaljši zipline na Balkanu. Sama nisem zbrala dovolj poguma, sin in mož pa se nista mogla upreti vožnji čez reko. Na voljo so tudi druge adrenalinske aktivnosti, predvsem rafting.

Tara canyon is the deepest canyon in Europe. We stopped in Djurdjevica Tara, about an hour drive from Žabljak and admired the bridge. The longest zipline on Balkan leads across the canyon. I wasn't courageous enough to try it, but my son and husband couldn't resist the temptation. Beside zipline also other adventure activities are offered. Rafting, for example.

Naslednji postanek smo načrtovali pri Biogradskem jezeru. Glede na informacije z interneta gre za lepo jezero obdano z gozdom. Na naše razočaranje je bil park zaprt zaradi močnega vetra, ki je zadnjih nekaj dni ruval drevesa, kar pa je lahko zelo nevarno za obiskovalce. Nisem bila ravno vesela, ampak, kaj hočemo, naravo je treba upoštevati in spoštovati. Odločili smo se, da nadaljujemo pot proti Skadrskemu jezeru.
We planned our next stop at Lake Biograd. According to the internet it should be another beautiful lake surrounded by forests. To our disappointment we were not allowed to enter the national park due to the bad weather in the last days. Strong wind teared up trees by the roots, which could threaten the lives of the visitors. I wasn't happy, but the nature forces should never be ignored, so we moved to Skadar lake.
