This National Park is in the middle of Bjelasica Mountain, between Tara and Lim rivers. Lush pastures and tranquil lakes, including Biogradsko Lake, the largest glacier lake in the park, adorn this virgin territory. You’ll also discover historic monuments, quaint villages, and architectural finds during your Montenegro train travel excursion.
