Swim one A dip in Durmitor’s mountain eyes
After climbing steeply above the fjord (technically a submerged river canyon), the road snakes through a karst landscape: exposed limestone erupts through goat-nibbled grass, and bluff summits swirl with loops of strata. A concertina of 2,000-metre-plus peaks in the far north of the country, the Durmitor Massif is said to derive its name from the Balkan Romance-Vlach for ‘sleeping-place’. Across the high plateau, 748 springs of clear mountain water carve out a honeycomb of caves and keep the lakes topped up.
