Montenegro is located in the southern part of the Balkan peninsula. To
the west, north and east it borders on Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Serbia
and Kosovo, and to the south borders on Albania. Montenegro is a maritime
country, with 200 km of the Adriatic coastline. One of the most beautiful
bays in the Mediterranean is the Boka Kotorska (the Bay of Boka).
Most of the country is covered by high and extensive mountain massifs
intersected by river gorges and deep valleys. Larger lowland areas are to be
found in the south, near the coastline.
The Montenegrin seacoast is a narrow strip of land running from
Herceg-Novi to the Bojana river on the frontier with Albania. It is famed
for its sandy beaches and abundant sub-tropical vegetation.
The high Dinaric mountains of Orjen, Lovcen and Rumija rise steeply from
the sea, forming a magnificent background to the coastal strip, but a great
obstacle to communications between the coastal and inland parts of
Montenegro.
The Zeta plain in the area of Lake Skadar, together with the valley of
the Zeta and the Niksic Polje, comprise the biggest lowland region of
Montenegro and its most fertile area.
North of this stretch the high limestone mountains of
Durmitor, Komovi and Sinjajevina. The Moraca, Tara, Piva and Ceotina rivers
and their tributaries have cut deep gorges through these mountains.
The rivers of Montenegro are swift with large drops in elevation and
large volumes of water resulting from the high precipitation. They are
exceptionally clear and unpolluted, suitable for rafting, fishing and other
water sports. Some have carved themselves spectacular canyons; those of the
Tara, Piva and Moraca are up to 1200 m deep --- among the deepest in the
world.
Lake Skadar, the largest lake in the Balkans, is over 40 km. long and on
average 10 km. wide. Two-thirds belongs to Montenegro and one-third to
Albania.
