- Grlja Waterfall, Vusanje: Visiting the Falls and Canyon

- Gusinje, Montenegro: What to See at the Foot of Prokletije

- Plav, Montenegro: the lake town below the Prokletije peaks
Plav is a small mountain town on the shore of Lake Plav in north-east Montenegro, sitting at 910 m below the Prokletije range. Give it half a day for the tower, the mosques and the lake shore, and a full day or more if the national park is why you came.
- Rožaje, Montenegro: What to See in the Far North-East
Rožaje is a small town in Montenegro's far north-east, in the Montenegrin part of the Raška region, with a mosque skyline and pine forests around it. It rewards travellers who are already heading through the north-east by car, not a coastal add-on.
