The Durmitor Ring panoramic road is a circular journey which is about 80 kilometers long, and the tour starts from the center of Žabljak and continues around the Durmitor mountain massif.
One of the most fascinating stages of that journey is reflected in the opportunity to enjoy the deepest canyon in Europe and the second deepest in the world - the Tara canyon.

Momčilo's Town is another fantastic place on this route. Pirlitor or Momčilo's Town is known for the epic hero - Duke Momčilo, who died because of his wife's betrayal. This famous legend is described in the folk poem The Espousal of the King Vukašin. From this place, there is the most beautiful view of Žabljak and Durmitor.

The Durmitor Ring includes the villages of Trsa, Nedajno and Mala Crna Gora, a remote Durmitor village located on the edge of the canyon of the Sušica river. It is one of the most beautiful and impressive canyons in Montenegro and is 14 km long. At the bottom of the canyon is the only periodic lake on Durmitor - Lake Sušičko. When the snow melts from the surrounding mountains, the lake is full of water, and in the summer, it dries up and turns into a flower meadow. This Durmitor gem is located at an altitude of 1140 meters and is surrounded by coniferous forest. It is also an unavoidable stop on the way along the Durmitor Ring.
Whether you choose a car, motorbike or, in the summer months, a bicycle, this is an adventure you will not forget. Camper paradise. An unforgettable experience for nature lovers.
