Žabljak, Montenegro

Friday May 19-21, 2017
From Dubronik we crossed the border into Bosnia & Hercegovina (expect border delays) before entering Montenegro and back to the EU. From the dry coast, we twisted and turned through the mountains to Durmitor National Park, and our homebase, Hotel SOA in Žabljak. Montenegro's National Parks are what Tom and I call "self-service". There is usually a handpainted sign, no one to pay, and rarely a printed map. Our hotel receptionist was amazing, helping us with trails (and a map!) and arranging our rafting trip down the Tara Canyon for tomorrow. Within walking distance of the hotel is a "park entrance", and a trail around Black Lake, Crno Jezero, a glacial lake so named for the encircling black pines and the dark shadow they cast.
