- Due to its beauty and untouched nature, the Durmitor mountain and the surrounding areas were declared a national park in 1952. The Durmitor mountain massif is located in the north-west of Montenegro and consists of a vast plateau (at 1,500 m above sea level), intersected by deep canyon valleys, covered by mountain peaks, 48 of which are over 2,000 m high (the highest is Bobotov kuk).
