Botanical Garden
The botanical garden was formed in 1981, at 1018 m above sea level. It is located at the meeting point of the silicate massif of Bjelasica and the carbonate masses of Sinjajevina Mountain.
When you walk through the garden, you will notice that all plant species have been labeled under Latin, and, partly, vernacular names, which were taken, due to the lack of their systematic study, from literature, according to works of some eminent Balkan’s botanicals.
The plants in the garden mostly originate from the continental mountains of Bjelasica, Sinjajevina, Moracke plane, Komovi, and Durmitor. Today there are about 350 plant species in the garden, a considerable number of which are endemic. From the mountain range of Prokletije, the species of mountain Hajla are represented in significant numbers. Several successful attempts have been made at including some species from the highest peaks of the coastal mountains Rumija, Lovcen, and Orjen.
This garden, a privately owned one, the only of a kind in Montenegro is very valuable for the Botanics and scientists who are provided with a separate and more comprehensive list of the garden plant species.
The price includes English speaking guide and an entrance fee.
