About Rumija Mountain Region

Rumija Mountain Region
 

The Rumija Mountain Region, located in southern Montenegro, forms a natural divide between the Adriatic Sea and Lake Skadar. This rugged terrain is characterized by steep slopes, dense forests, and striking limestone formations. The region's ecological diversity is notable, with Mediterranean and continental influences supporting a variety of plant and animal species, including the Balkan lynx and the golden eagle. Historically, the area has been a crossroad of cultures and influences, evident in ancient ruins and historic routes. Recreational opportunities abound, with hiking being particularly popular due to the region's extensive trail network, offering routes of varying difficulty through scenic landscapes. Notable landmarks include the peak of Rumija Mountain itself, which provides panoramic views of both the sea and the lake. Visitors are drawn to the area for its unique combination of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and opportunities for outdoor exploration.
