Peaks of Durmitor

Durmitor is one of Montenegro's most impressive mountain massifs, known for its dramatic peaks, rugged ridges, deep valleys and glacial lakes.

Within a relatively compact area, 48 peaks rise above 2,000 metres, with Bobotov Kuk (2,523 m) as the highest. Eighteen peaks exceed 2,300 m, while seven rise above 2,400 m.

Numerous marked trails lead towards the peaks and viewpoints, offering spectacular views across Durmitor, Jezerska Površ and the Tara, Sušica and Piva canyons.

The remarkable concentration and diversity of high peaks make Durmitor one of the most attractive hiking and mountaineering destinations in this part of Europe.
