Old railroad

Montenegro and Croatia have applied for funds with the European Union in order to build a promenade and bicycle lane as well as a railroad that would connect the two countries. It would be 20 kilometers long on the Croatian side and seven on the Montenegrin side, and it is supposed to be built on the remains of former railroad tracks.

Eco village on the Komovi Range

Jasna Vukićević - The north of the country is the largest but, at the same time, the least exploited potential of Montenegro that can be a winter as well as summer destination for the increasing number of European tourists that prefer ecologically preserved areas. We went to see the eco village on the Komovi near Andrijevica.

“The Guardian” in the Montenegro

Stephanie Rafanelli, a well-known journalist for The Guardian, published a story about her impressions from traveling in northern Montenegro. “Just three hours' drive inland from Montenegro’s newly developed coastal resorts is an untouched land of mountains, forests, rapids, canyons, pastures and lakes; an eco adventurer's paradise where the food is "naturally" organic.”

Postcard from a country that is no more

On the symbolic date of May 25 of the last year one of the most beautiful villages in Montenegro, Eco Village Yugoslavia, has been opened on Mt. Pivska or, to be more specific, at Crkvičko Polje. The name was chosen as a remembrance of a country that used to have enough room and security for everyone, where we all felt comfortable. We are confident that our guests will have the same feeling.

Travelling Through Montenegro
"Lord Byron and Bernard Shaw, always spoke of Montenegro coast with sentiments; royalties such as the English princess Margaret and some of the most famous actors in the world like Sofia Loren and Kirk Douglas have visited this country, and some of the most beautiful women in the world, like Doris Day and Claudia Schiffer have walked the cobbled streets of Montenegro."

Beginning with Podgora
D.Perunicic – Empty homes, grass overgrown plots of land and 'for sale' sings are a part of the scenery that can usually be seen in Montenegrin villages in the last 15 years. Decades long lack of investment in agriculture and redemption of agricultural products created a common picture of life in the countryside: it is a difficult life with lots of hardship and work.
