Into the wilderness: land of KATUNS
The shepherd tradition holds enormous cultural value in Montenegro. Their semi-nomadic lifestyle, with seasonal migrations between summer and winter pastures, has forged their resilience, self-sufficiency, and a profound connection with nature.
Montenegrin katuns (mountain huts) are central to this nomadic lifestyle and can be found almost everywhere on the route! The shepherds’ tradition of moving up in the northern mountains during summer is still very much in use and holds a special place in the country’s cultural heritage. And while the lifestyle has certainly changed through time, the traditional knowledge and skills are passed down through generations.
Montenegro wild spaces are home to some of the most hospitable people you can meet: locals are incredibly generous hosts and welcome adventurers with open hearts. Even up in the most remote mountain stretches, you can expect friendly greetings and a genuine interest in your journey. You’re never too far from being invited for a coffee.
