A Timeless Place with a name from each millenia - Ulcinj, Ulqin, Ulqini, Dulcigno
Ulcinj is an exciting "base camp" for travel excursions in the immediate area, and throughout Montenegro.
Ulcinj is one of those unusual settings, where through much of the year, a traveler can be on a warm, sunny beach in the afternoon, and skiing some of Europes finest new ski slopes the next morning.
Ulcinj's coastal setting also allows guests to experience a wide array of boating, deep sea fishing, scuba diving among offshore historic wrecks, jet skiing, and any other water sports that can be imagined.
Montenegro's Mountaineering Association, mountaineering clubs, as well as non governmental organizations have established Montenegro's "Coastal Mountain Transversal Route." The 6,000 kilometer trail network is being prepared as a national route network for hikers and mountainbikers that will provide new access to still unexplored natural areas of beauty of Montenegro's southern hinterland.
The "Coastal Mountain Transversal Route" was inaugurated in 2006 and offers excellent opportunities for active tourists. It starts from the coastal mountains, from Orjen (north of the Bay of Kotor) through Lovcen down south to Rumija in the Ulcinj-Bar area. Even a day-trip along this path lets you enjoy breathtaking views; outdoor enthusiasts get to know rare Mediterranean plants and herbs as well as historical caravan routes, old military fortifications and places of ethnological interest.
Tara River Escursions -- The Tara River Gorge, also known as Tara Canyon, is the route of the Tara River, the deepest canyon in Montenegro and Europe, at 78 kilometers in length and 1,300 meters at its deepest. The canyon is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is a part of Durmitor national park. The Tara River is fed by the confluence of the Ospanica and Verusa rivers in the Dinaric Alps of Montenegro. The river provides the largest European supply of drinking water.
Rafting on the Tara River is a popular recreation activity in Montenegro. One popular rafting route follows an 18 kilometer course starting from Brstnovica, that takes approximately three hours. Other rafting routes allows enthusiasts to follow much of the dramatic Tara River Gorge - Europe's deepest gorge - passing near waterfalls, under bridges, near old Roman roads, and of course, through "white water" rougher waters for those that enjoy the most exciting of rafting trips.
In September 2006, a protocol for cooperation between the Slovenian company "Petrol" and Montenegrin company "Montenegro-bonus" was signed, and the building of an electric plant with initial power of 40 or 60 megawatts is planned for construction in the gorge. The Tara River is not to be confused with Tara Mountain and Tara National Park, which are situated in southern Serbia.
Photography Tours - Montenegro is a popular destination for photographers seeking to capture a unique sense of place, time, and circumstance. Setting as varied as mountaintop vistas, shimmering beaches, olive groves, historic towns and villages, and a fascinating local population, make for an interesting journey of images.

Excursions in Montenegro's South Coast Region
The Ulcinj region is an exciting "base camp" for travel excursions in the immediate area, and throughout Montenegro.
Lake Skadar National Park -- This truly enormous lake and national treasure of Montenegro is located about seven kilometers from the Adriatic Sea coast. The lake is approximately 44 kilometers in length and is situated in both Montenegro and Albania.
Ada Bojana -- The Ada Bojana (Ada Buna) area of the Ulcinj coast is a popular destination with international travelers to Montenegrins, and perhaps most telling, among Montenegrins as well. This is due largely to the natural beauty of the area and the daily fresh fish catch served at Ada Bojana restaurants. Some of the mostscenic portions of Velika Plaza (Long Beach) are here in Ada Bojana, attracting a multitude of beach-goers on any given day.
Old Bar Fortress -- A historic spot of the town of Bar is the 9th Century Old Bar Fortress, also known as Stari Bar, now an open-air museum, situated on a 4-hectare hilltop just four kilometers from the sea.
Valdanos Bay -- a horsehoe-shaped natural water body, is situated about four miles to the north of Ulcinj's Old Town, between Mavrijen and Mendra. The bay's end point falls steeply and suddenly into the sea. The beach at Valdanos is single, composed of round stones 1 to 20 cm in diameter.
Valdanos Olive Groves -- According to Ulcinj tradition a man cannot be married until he has planted at least one olive tree. For centuries Ulcinj has been an active olive-growing region, giving Ulcinj a reputation for fine olive oils. Harvest time is a memorable experience for those than can partake due to the singing of the pickers.
Bird Watching at the Ulcinj Salt Works Factory -- This protected eco-system in Ulcinj is one of the world's top birdwatching locations, since Ulcinj and its surroundings are major resting points for over 200 bird species on their migration paths. During the winter months, more than 20,000 birds are typically nested here - a remarkable sight.
Bar Seaport -- Bar is a natural harbor and the main seaport of Montenegro, located at the foot of the Rumija mountain-mass. Bar Seaport is on the north edge of the Ulcinj coastal region. Bar is famous for being the summer home of Montenegrin Duke Nikola at the end of the 19th century.
