Mrtvica Canyon Hiking - Private Tour

Mrtvica canyon is located 35 km from Kolašin in the direction of Podgorica, in the village of Međuriječje. Hidden beneath the mountain of Maganik, about 9 km long, it is a real jewel of untouched nature. It is one of the most beautiful canyons of the former Yugoslavia. The small river Mrtvica springs on Trebješ mountain, and after 15km of flow, it descends into the area of Međuriječje. It flows into the largest Montenegrin river Morača.

Enjoy the beauty of still not enough explored canyon, but increasingly popular for tourists, true nature lovers. At the very beginning of the tour, at the entrance to the canyon, we will see a small, stone bridge that Prince Danilo raised in 1858 in honor of his mother who originated from this area. The bridge was named “Danilo’s bridge”.

Next, by walking along the path leading right along the rock, we will reach the “Gate of Wishes”, made up of two rocks connected at the top. Here we will take a short break. You will enjoy the view of a calm and clean river, relaxing a bright blue and green color that brings peace and simplicity to the visitors. This gate is connected to the story that the fairy from Maganik will fulfill your wish if you throw a jack stone in the river. Just a few steps away, you can hear the great noise of sparkling waterfalls, from which the most attractive is “Bijeli Nerini”. You will notice the thick vegetation that makes this ambient special. And that’s not the end. The special attraction of this part is a narrow into the rock that was broken through by the army in 1973, led by General Danilo Jauković. In this way, the two villages of Mrtvo Duboko and Velje Duboko were connected, and the locals called it “Danilo’s road”.

After the passage of this way also known as “Mrtvičke Grede”, we arrive at Stone Beach which is the endpoint of the tour. Here we will have a short break for rest. After visiting this sparkling river that abounds within springs, waterfalls, and wild rapids and after passing through the rock which seems impossible when you look from far away, you will feel filled and happy. The Track length is approximately 18 km. You’ll want to visit it again!
