Durmitor National Park constitutes the heart of a landscape shaped by glaciers, lakes, numerous rivers and underground streams of which are embedded in the much larger Tara River Basin Biosphere Reserve.
The diverse mountain landscape encompasses altitudinal zones ranging from only 450 to more than 2,500 metres above sea level and a broad array of ecosystems and habitats.
Some fifty peaks higher than 2,000 metres above sea level including Bobotov Peak (2,525 metres above sea level) rise above plateaus, alpine meadows and forests cover the landscape.
Particular impression is created by 18 glacial lakes, called «mountain eyes», located at 1.500 meters above the sea level.
The most dramatic elements of the spectacular mountain landscape are the deep river canyons, most notably the famous Tara River Gorge, Europe’s deepest gorge. The river Tara is perhaps one of the last oases of intact nature, characterized by its crystal clear water, which is why its is often called «The Tear of Europe». Tara is the largest European reservoir of drinking water. On the territory of the Durmitor National Park, the Tara River has its average fall of 3.6m/km, and it makes waterfalls, rapids and cascades which give a great compliment to the untouched nature of the Park.
