A Journey Through Kolasin’s Untamed Beauty

As I embarked on the “Mixed Tours: National Park Adventure” in Kolasin, I was filled with anticipation. The promise of exploring the untouched landscapes of Montenegro’s national parks was a siren call to my biologist’s heart. The tour began in a quaint village, where the air was crisp and the mountains loomed majestically in the distance. Our guides introduced us to our gentle equine companions, and even those of us with no prior riding experience were soon at ease, thanks to their patient instruction.

The ride through the mountain peaks was nothing short of magical. The horses moved gracefully along the trails, their hooves softly crunching the fallen leaves. As we ascended, the forest opened up to reveal sweeping vistas of verdant valleys and distant peaks. The air was filled with the scent of pine and earth, a reminder of the pristine nature that surrounded us. It was a humbling experience, one that reminded me of the importance of preserving such untouched beauty for future generations.

A Taste of Tradition

Our journey led us to Katun Goles, where we were treated to a traditional Montenegrin lunch. The flavors were rich and hearty, a testament to the region’s culinary heritage. As we dined, I couldn’t help but reflect on the interconnectedness of culture and nature. The people of Kolasin have lived in harmony with their environment for generations, and their respect for the land is evident in every aspect of their lives.

After our meal, we set off on a short hike to one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in the national park. The path wound through dense forests, alive with the sounds of birds and the rustle of leaves. As we reached the summit, the view that unfolded before us was nothing short of spectacular. Biogradsko Lake shimmered in the distance, a jewel nestled amidst the lush greenery. It was a moment of pure serenity, a reminder of the delicate balance that exists in nature.

A Night Under the Stars

As the day drew to a close, we made our way to the charming bungalows where we would spend the night. The accommodations were simple yet comfortable, offering a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. After a delicious dinner of traditional fare, we gathered around a crackling fire, sharing stories and laughter under a canopy of stars.

The next morning, after a hearty breakfast, we mounted our horses once more for the journey back. This time, we took a different route, allowing us to experience yet another facet of the park’s diverse landscapes. As we rode, I felt a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to connect with nature in such a profound way.
