Half-Day Moraca Canyon Train TourImmerse yourself in the enchanting nature and picturesque landscapes of Montenegro as you travel from the coast to the heart of the country - the breathtaking Moraca Canyon. You cannot say “I saw Montenegro” unless you have visited the center of the country. This is a special part of it, and we invite you to purchase a tour on an amazing, incomparable journey with us. Even if you are not staying in Budva, it doesn’t matter! The bus will take tourists on an excursion along almost the entire coast of the Budva Riviera. This excursion can be taken from Budva, Becici, Rafailovici, Przno, Sveti Stefana, Petrovac, Buljarica, Canj, Sutomore, Shushan and Bar. The bus will also be able to pick up tourists who live in Boka Kotor Bay - from Tivat and Kotor, thereby admiring almost the entire coast of Montenegro on the way and recognizing its resorts. Not Remember to take comfortable shoes and warm clothes with you: the temperature in the center of the country and the coast may be different. Description and route of the tour "Moraca Canyon by train for half a day"The tour will start around 07:00 in the morning. A comfortable train awaits us in Bar, which we will transfer to at around 9 am. From the city of Bar we continue our journey by train, setting off on an exciting journey through the picturesque mountainous regions of Montenegro towards the national park Skadar Lake- the largest lake in the Balkans. At the beginning of the route, an impressive passage awaits us through the longest tunnel in the country - Sozina, with a length of 6.2 km. Next, the train passes by the colorful fishing village of Virpazar, and also crosses a unique bridge built in 1952, which is still used for both trains and cars. As we approach the lake, we notice monuments of the rich historical past of Montenegro - ancient temples, monasteries, fortresses and villages surrounded by greenery.

The path continues through the green expanses of the fertile Zeta Plain, after which we enter the capital of Montenegro - Podgorica.

From there the route heads north, towards the mountainous regions of the country.

Then our train follows along the picturesque valley of the Moraca River, passing vineyards and delving into a grandiose gorge. As we move, we slowly rise upward - from 12 meters above sea level in Bar to more than 1000 meters in the mountainous Kolasin.

One of the most exciting moments of the route will be crossing the Mala Rijeka Bridge - the highest railway bridge in Europe, which rises to 201 meters and amazes with its panoramic views.

About 11:20 we arrive in the picturesque mountain town of Kolasin - a ski resort in Montenegro. Here our railway part of the journey ends and we change to a bus to continue the route towards the deepest place in the Moraca Canyon. We will make a stop in its most picturesque and deepest part to admire the stunning scenery, breathe in the mountain air and take vivid photographs as a keepsake.

Moving along a narrow mountain road, we will find ourselves in the very heart of the canyon, between steep cliffs. The opposite shore is very close - only 30-50 meters away, creating a feeling of enclosed space. A narrow strip of sky high overhead is barely visible between the rocks, reflected in the emerald water of the fast and noisy river below. This part of the path is especially impressive with its wildness and natural power.

Usually we are used to the sky extending above the earth, but here everything seems upside down. The majestic sheer walls of the canyon, rising almost vertically, seem to compress the space, leaving only a narrow strip of sky. These steep cliffs make you take a fresh look at the power and grandeur of nature - alive and beyond the control of man.

The return route runs along a picturesque road through the capital of Montenegro - Podgorica, and then along the shores of Lake Skadar. Enjoying the views, we will gradually descend from the northern mountainous regions to the coast. Arrival at the resorts is expected at approximately 2:00 pm.
