Eco katun Vranjak

At this place, the starry sky is crystal clear! For a decade, we have been offering you the chance to become part of the lives of Gorštaks from bygone centuries. On Mount Bjelasica, right on the border with the Biogradska Gora National Park, at an altitude of 1,800 metres above sea level, lies the first eco-village in Montenegro – the Eko Katun "Vranjak".

Eko Katun was founded on the traditions and way of life of the Montenegrin Gorštaci, which have been passed down through the centuries to the present day. At Eko Katun, on our own farm, we produce the organic food that we serve to our guests. In the katun, you will have the opportunity to try some of the 'forgotten' national specialities. Here you can hire mountain horses and ride to the nearby peaks of the National Park, see wool being spun in the old-fashioned way, listen to the sounds of the gusle if you wish, or play a mountain match of five-a-side football on the plateau below the katun. If you don't know how to ride, you have the option of taking a riding lesson, and if you don't fancy that either, mountain bikes will be available. There are countless opportunities here for 'endless' walks on the peaks and slopes of Bjelasica and the National Park…

You will experience the magic of the night in cosy eco-cabins, accompanied by the sounds of the mountain: the hoot of an owl or the howling of wolves. If you rise early, you will see the first rays of sunlight fall upon the surrounding mountain range, breathe in the fresh mountain air with full lungs and lose yourself in the enchanting views of the surrounding mountains: Komovi, Prokletije, Maganik and Sinjajevina. Here you have the opportunity to take part in rural – "katunski" activities: gathering and chopping firewood, milking cows, making Kolashin's layered cheese and kajmak, preparing specialities of the national cuisine, etc.

The capacity of the Eco Katun is 80 beds in wooden huts with 2 to 7 beds. Electricity is provided by solar collectors in all facilities at the Katun.
