Outdoor Resort TaraSport

A spectacular reservoir surrounded by forested limestone cliffs, Piva Lake (35 minutes’ drive) is a base for several activities, including swimming and boating. Anglers might be able to catch a trout or two here, while hiking trails will take you to observation points with fabulous views of the turquoise waters. The Orthodox Piva Monastery (45 minutes) used to sit on the river Piva, but it was relocated stone by stone over more than a decade due to the construction of the dam that eventually created Piva Lake. The church, which was first built in the 16th century, contains colourful frescoes and gilded icons by Greek artists. Durmitor National Park covers a large area of forests, glacial lakes and mountains, many of which reach well above 2,000 metres of altitude. The park is also known for its dramatic gorges, such as Tara Canyon, a popular destination for canyoning, rafting and birdwatching.
