Izlit is another archaeological site: the ancient fortification is located on Ganića krš in Rožaje. The site is recommended for visits. From there, you can see Rožaje and the surrounding mountains.

What else does Montenegro have to offer?
Beyond Rožaje’s local attractions, Montenegro offers a range of natural and cultural landscapes. Durmitor is a limestone massif in northern Montenegro. About fifty peaks in the national park rise above 2,000 metres; the glacial lakes are known locally as the “Eyes of the Mountains.” There are opportunities for hiking in the park. The Tara Canyon is the deepest canyon in Europe. These examples show the variety of nature-related attractions in Montenegro, with peaks, glacial lakes, and a canyon taking centre stage.
Another regional highlight is the natural and cultural landscape of the Kotor region in the Bay of Kotor on Montenegro’s Adriatic coast. It includes fortified and open towns, settlements, palaces, and monastic ensembles set in a cultivated terraced landscape, and bears witness to the spread of Mediterranean cultures in the Balkans. The mausoleum of the Montenegrin ruler and poet Petar II Petrović Njegoš is located on Jezerski vrh in Lovćen. The Lovćen switchbacks are part of the old caravan route from Kotor to Njeguši. These cultural and landscape attractions offer a distinct perspective on Montenegro as a broader travel destination.
