A mountain national park with 23 peaks over 2,200 m and glacial lakes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Black Lake (Crno Jezero), a short walk from Žabljak, is surrounded by pine forest beneath Međed peak. Hike up Bobotov Kuk, the highest peak, or drive the Durmitor Ring road.


The Tara River canyon, at 1,300 m one of the deepest in Europe, is the place for rafting; the Đurđevića Tara bridge has a zipline. In winter Žabljak is a ski resort.
