Over 60% of Montenegro is over 1,000 metres high
Most of Montenegro’s landscape consists of rugged mountains, steep valleys, glacial lakes, wetlands and densely wooded forests.
Its lofty geography is where Montenegro gets its name from, as it means black mountains. Bobotov Kuk Mountain is the highest in the country at 2,523 metres but there are several other mountains in national parks that loom over Montenegro. Mount Lovcen is 1,749 metres high and Mount Rumija in the Lake Skadar National Park is around 1,600 metres above sea level, both of which giving views out over the Adriatic Sea.
