Embark on our Basic Jeep Safari Tour which offers a fantastic way to see the stunning beauties of Durmitor National Park. This is the perfect activity for nature enthusiasts, families and groups of friends looking for a unique outdoor experience.
We will take you through the enchanting woods and over the captivating valleys to see 4 out of 18 glacial lakes known as ‘mountain eyes’, and one of the most scenic viewpoints in the park. The tour encompasses visits to Zminje lake, lake Barno, Vražje and Riblje lake, and Ćurevac viewpoint at an altitude of 1410 meters which will reward you with breathtaking views of the Tara river canyon, the national park and its surrounding peaks.
Lake Barno (from the word ‘bara’ meaning swamp or a puddle) is one of the smaller lakes of Durmitor National Park. The lake is located at 1489 m above sea level. Its surface is small, and the maximum depth is only 1 m. Covered by dense marsh plants it resembles a swamp. According to old folk tales and beliefs, the water of this lake has healing properties and is especially helpful in the treatment of skin diseases.
Ćurevac viewpoint is the highest of three vistas of Tara River Canyon. It is located 8 km from Žabljak, at an altitude of 1625 m. The viewpoint provides a unique perspective on the deepest part of the Tara River Canyon and the surrounding landscape. From here you can enjoy the sight of the deepest canyon in Europe and the second deepest canyon in the world, after the Colorado River Grand Canyon.
Vražje lake (meaning Devil’s lake) rests at an altitude of 1416 m. The average depth is 4 m, with the deepest point at 11 m. It has a very unusual color, which changes with the seasons. There are numerous old folk tales about it, stories which our guides will share with you.
Nestled in the depth of the forest, surrounded by tall spruce trees, Zminje lake (meaning ‘Snakes lake’) is a clear example of the ‘mountain eyes’. It is located at the source of the ‘Mlinski potok’ (Mill Creek), at an altitude of 1.520 m. It used to be inhabited by an unusual number of snakes, the phenomenon after which it got its name, but this is no longer the case. Water is extremely cold, even during summer days.
Riblje lake (meaning Fish lake) rests at an altitude of 1409 m. What makes this lake especially interesting, other than its beauty, is the ancient Greek necropolis located in its proximity. Called ‘stećak’ (plural 'stećci'), these richly decorated tombstones are under UNESCO protection.
