Forestry markings will sometimes be encountered, typically a number of lines or bands spray-painted on a tree. However, these have no connection with marked hiking trails and can be ignored.

National parks

There are five areas designated as national parks (Nacionalni Park, often abbreviated NP) in Montenegro: Durmitor (including the Tara Canyon), Biogradska gora, Lovćen, Skadarsko jezero (Lake Skodra) and most recently, Prokletije. In addition, a number of areas have been declared ‘nature parks’. Since 1980, Durmitor and the Tara have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

There’s a small entrance fee for national parks, usually €3. As you might expect, national parks carry a number of rules and regulations, although there is rarely anyone present to enforce them. Use your common sense, and observe the following guidelines.
