When spring touches Durmitor!
As spring arrives, everyone awakens – from the flowers and birds to the people who eagerly await the first rays of sunshine to warm them up for their walks. Some of us adore nature, reveling in the greenery and rejoicing in every sign of life that bursts forth in mid-March.
Even many poets have celebrated this magnificent season, weaving a uniquely known emotion into their beautiful words. Ivo Andrić once said: “Nothing a living person loses cannot be recovered by a spring, nor can a person be permanently unhappy as long as God allows the soul to heal through forgetfulness and the earth to be renewed by spring.” Ivo Andric said the following: "A living man cannot lose anything that one spring could not restore, nor can a man be permanently unhappy while God allows the soul to be healed by oblivion and the earth to be renewed by spring."
We completely agree with Desankom Maksimović who feels in the song that she will go crazy this spring because of some distant beauty. And you, what will you go crazy about? We will present to you just some of the ways to spend quality time in this wonderful period that is ahead of us.
– Start planning your vacation. There is no better feeling than the warmth of the sun on your bosom, and the first sun awakens the most beautiful feelings.
– Open the season of socializing in the yard. Invite your neighbors for coffee and enjoy the regeneration of the environment that has just begun to bloom. There is no better pleasure, proven!
– Brighten up your wardrobe with vibrant colors and hints of spring. It's time to pack away your warm, winter clothes.
– Go on a picnic or camping trip outdoors, and the nice weather is a wonderful opportunity to dedicate yourself to yourself or fulfill a long-awaited opportunity to go hiking.
- Take a book in your hands and go out into nature to devote yourself a little to your thoughts.
- Oh, how we all love moments of enjoyment on the terrace!
– Open the cycling season.
- Roller skates, you can hardly wait for them. Me too!
– Organize a get-together with friends with a barbecue, good music, and laughter.
One cannot say to spring: 'God grant that it may arrive as soon as possible and last as long as possible.' One can only say, 'Come, bless me with your hope, and stay as long as you can.'

Celine
In the spring, when the snow begins to melt, the powerful spring of Čelina erupts from under it, cascading noisily into the lake in white cascades. This natural phenomenon occurs in the form of strong springs from the head of the Little Lake at the foot of Međed. Čeline above the Black Lake creates a series of small waterfalls, a sight that leaves no one indifferent.
Đurđevića Tara – Spectacular bridge and canyon
The Đurđevića Tara Bridge is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Montenegro. The view of the emerald Tara River and the magnificent canyon provides an incredible experience.
