A Journey Through Time and Tradition
The Katun Road Borderline Heights is a remarkable thematic route spanning over 160 kilometers, connecting more than 30 katuns situated along the mountains bordering Kosovo. This trail is Montenegro’s first tourist product entirely dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the katuns.
Embrace the Mountains
As you traverse this path, you’ll explore the majestic mountains of Čakor, Mokra, Smiljevica, and Hajla, part of the northeastern branch of the Prokletije range, the southernmost chain of the Dinaric Alps. These landscapes are where our farmers have thrived for centuries, embodying the tradition of transhumance that is gradually fading away.
