Tours and activities in Žabljak
Žabljak is Montenegro's main mountain town and the base for everything on Durmitor. Hiking programs leave Žabljak for Bobotov Kuk (the highest accessible peak, 2,523 m), Sušica Canyon, Black Lake and Prutaš, plus jeep tours across the plateau and Tara rafting (about 30 min away).
The main season is June–October; in winter (December–March) Žabljak runs as a ski resort (Savin Kuk — small but authentic). Most local agencies are family businesses with guides who are from Žabljak and know the terrain in detail.
