Region
Durmitor is a massif in north-western Montenegro, part of the Dinaric Alps. Its highest peak is Bobotov Kuk at 2,523 m, and it is bounded by the canyons of the Tara, the Piva and the Komarnica. To the east it opens onto a high plateau called Jezerska površ, the Plateau of Lakes.
Black Lake, close to Žabljak, is the best-known sight of Durmitor National Park, and many smaller glacial lakes lie scattered across the plateau, reached on foot. Lake Piva, a reservoir behind the Mratinje dam, lies at the western edge of the massif.
