In the northwest of the country, just across the border from Bosnia’s Sutjeska National Park, are the remote areas of Maglić and Bioč, crowned by Maglić (2386m) and Veliki Vitao (2397m) respectively (the former lies actually on the Bosnian border).

Slightly to the southeast of these, bounded to the north by the River Tara and to the west by the River Piva, is Durmitor (Routes 6–8). This is Montenegro’s best-known and most visited mountain area, with numerous peaks over 2300m, including Bobotov kuk (2523m), usually described as the country’s highest but actually overshadowed just a little by a peak on the Albanian border. It is an area of quite exceptionally beautiful scenery, with glacial cirques and lakes, high ridges and spectacular, steep-sided peaks.

Stretching southeast from Durmitor parallel to the River Tara is Sinjajevina, a long, jagged succession of high peaks, including Jablanov vrh (2203m) at its southern end. South of this, along the headwaters and west of the River Moračka, are the equally rugged Moračke planine, including Torna (also known as Babji zub, 2227m). These mountains gradually recede in altitude towards Nikšić and Podgorica, and towards the River Zeta. Southeast of Sinjajevina, across the River Tara, is Bjelasica (Routes 9–10), with its somewhat more gentle, rounded tops.
