Beskrivning

National Park Durmitor is located in the northwest part of Montenegro and covers the area of high mountains, planes and deep canyons. The Tara River Canyon is located in the Park (the highest depth of the canyon is 1,300 m), as well as canyons of rivers Komarnica, Grabovica, Sušica and some small rivers. Mountain Durmitor massif includes more than 40 peaks over 2,000 m altitude and the massif has 18 glacial lakes. Durmitor is the biggest ski center in the country.

18 mountain lakes, more than 40 rocky peaks above 2,000 m altitude, dense forests of fir, beech forests, pine habitat and the spacious plateau of Durmitor, are habitats which characterise this mountain. Recent research of the flora of Durmitor and surrounding canyons found more than 1,700 plant species. About 900 species make for high mountain flora, which inhabit the area above 1,500 m altitude. As for the characteristic birds, this habitat can be divided into: high mountain rocky ground, rocks and cliffs, high mountain lakes, wet meadows, pastures, glades, high mountain evergreen forests and mixed coniferous – deciduous forests. Every one of these habitats has its own specific ornythofauna: high and steep hillside, and rocky areas are home to vattenpiplärka and berglärka, alpjärnsparv and murkrypare, while the highest and most inaccessible cliffs are home to breeding alpkaja and kungsörn; forests are home to breeding of numerous songbirds, like svartmes, spillkråka , Mindre korsnäbb, Nötväcka, then the birds of the family of hen: tjäder, järpe; raptors: sparvhök, lärkfalk, Bivråk. The pastures and wet meadows are habitats to tofslärka, vaktel, kornknarr and on the lakes and riparian vegetation we can register knipa, Smådopping, vattenrall and others.
