After a long stop in Cetinje, we will travel 22 km through incredibly beautiful places called the “Stone Sea of Montenegro” and rise even higher towards the mountain Lovcen, where the famous mausoleum of Peter II Petrovich Njegos, the ruler of Montenegro, is located throughout Europe, which proudly stands on the second highest mountain range 1650 m.
|

 |
 |
|
Peter Njegos was a great commander, clergyman and ruler Montenegro, who fought for justice and served his people to the end. We will be able to climb to a height of 1650 m above sea level, and then 461 steps await us to the mausoleum to be overcome on foot (visit optional).

|
 |
 |

In the mausoleum itself you will see figures of two Montenegrin women made of granite, as well as a figure made of Jablunica marble weighing 28 tons and the marble sarcophagus of Petar II Petrovic Njegosh, and the ceiling in this mausoleum is made of 18 kg of pure gold, donated by Italy to Montenegro.

 |
 |
|
On the back side of the Lovcen mausoleum there is the “Eagle's Nest” - the so-called round platform, which offers beautiful views of the mountains, cities and villages.
|
|
  |
 |

In clear weather, from Mount Lovcen you can see 70% of the territory Montenegro.
|
|
 |
 |
|
At the foot of the mountain there is an ancient mountain village Njegushi - the birthplace of the Petrovich dynasty, which once ruled the area. This village is famous for its natural, environmentally friendly delicacies, such as prosciutto - smoked pork ham, Njeguš cheese and delicious mead with rakia, and if you like it, then take a couple of legs with you to your homeland (it is allowed to export prosciutto, cheese and rakia up to 1.5 liters per person).
|
|
 |
 |
|
This is how interesting it is to dry and a little prosciutto is being undermined - the national wealth of the country :)). A stop in the village is expected to purchase local specialties (you can try them), souvenirs, and also have a separate time for lunch. Advice from experienced people: - buy the prosciutto or cheese that they give you to try, if of course you like it, since another prosciutto may be completely different.

|
 |
 |
|
On the excursion we will also visit a panoramic platform with a view of the entire Boka Kotor Bay. By the evening you will be able to admire the sunset.
|
|

Good reviews and recommendationstourists about visiting this route. Excursions are conducted only with a Russian-speaking, experienced, licensed guide! Excursions in Montenegrostart from the bus stops indicated when booking. Due to the dense, chaotic development on the coast and mountainous terrain, buses cannot travel to every hotel or villa, so tourists go to certain places. When booking, please select the stop closest to your accommodation. Arrival times at attractions, duration of stops and return are approximate. This may be earlier than indicated on the website, or 3-4 hours late. Be sure to read the “Tourist Memo”, which will be sent to you by e-mail along with the voucher. At technical stops, Montenegrins sell various homemade specialties (honey, wine, rakia...) - our advice: buy what you tried and liked, as it happens that they sell/get the wrong product that you liked during tasting.
