Biogradska Gora National Park
The smallest of the national parks, Biogradska Gora covers a 5650-hectare chunk of the
Bjelasica Mountains which includes 1600 hectares of virgin forest - one of the most signi-
ficant untouched stands remaining in Europe. Here you'll find groves of juniper, wild rose,
pine, beech, maple, fir and elm trees, the tallest of which reach 45m.
There are no settlements within this park but campsites and bungalows are available
near the park office. Mojkovac is the nearest town, although KolaĊĦin makes a better base.
Hiking is great in summer but autumn is the best time to visit, when the leaves erupt in
colour.
The Bojana River occasionally performs the unusual trick of flowing upstream. This happens in winter
when the swollen waters of its Albanian tributary, the Drim, cut across it and the volume of water forces
part of the flow back into its source, Lake Skadar.
