Northern Montenegro’s Durmitor National Park, Tara Canyon & Ostrog Monastery

Northern Montenegro — the country's most majestic region — borders fairy-tale Kotor, a perfectly preserved medieval town of cobbled lanes, stone houses and postcard views. Nearby, gentle yet imposing mountains cradle emerald national parks home to the thunderous Tara Canyon, glassy Black Lake and sacred Ostrog Monastery — small, unforgettable wonders of the region's wild, soulful heart.
