When spring touches Durmitor
As spring comes, everyone wakes up. Starting with flowers, birds, and all the way to people who can't wait for the first ray of sunshine to warm up in order to continue their walks. Some of us adore nature, enjoy greenery and look forward to every sign of life that wakes up in mid-March.
Even many poets sang about this wonderful era and weaved an emotion known only to them into these wonderful words. Ivo Andric said the following: "A living man cannot lose anything that one spring could not restore, nor can a man be permanently unhappy while God allows the soul to be healed by oblivion and the earth to be renewed by spring.".
We completely agree with Desankom Maksimović who feels in the song that she will go crazy this spring because of some distant beauty. And you, what will you go crazy about? We will present to you just some of the ways to spend quality time in this wonderful period that is ahead of us.
– Start planning your vacation. There is no better feeling than the warmth of the sun on your bosom, and the first sun awakens the most beautiful feelings.
– Open the season of socializing in the yard. Invite your neighbors for coffee and enjoy the regeneration of the environment that has just begun to bloom. There is no better pleasure, proven!
– Brighten up your wardrobe with vibrant colors and hints of spring. It's time to pack away your warm, winter clothes.
– Go on a picnic or camping trip outdoors, and the nice weather is a wonderful opportunity to dedicate yourself to yourself or fulfill a long-awaited opportunity to go hiking.
- Take a book in your hands and go out into nature to devote yourself a little to your thoughts.
- Oh, how we all love moments of enjoyment on the terrace!
– Open the cycling season.
- Roller skates, you can hardly wait for them. Me too!

One cannot say to spring: 'God grant that it may arrive as soon as possible and last as long as possible.' One can only say, 'Come, bless me with your hope, and stay as long as you can.'‘

Celine
In the spring, when the snow begins to melt, the powerful spring of Čelina erupts from under it, cascading noisily into the lake in white cascades. This natural phenomenon occurs in the form of strong springs from the head of the Little Lake at the foot of Međed. Čeline above the Black Lake creates a series of small waterfalls, a sight that leaves no one indifferent.
Đurđevića Tara – Spectacular bridge and canyon
