About this place

Start gently around the Black Lake beneath the bulk of Međed, then work up through pine forest and karst to Bobotov Kuk, the 2,523-metre summit with a walkers' path all the way. Žabljak town makes a cheap, cheerful base. Go in June or September; July afternoons build thunderstorms with theatrical intent.
