Njegosev mauzolej-on top of Montenegro
Nina.M. Says: The biggest and most important monument of Lovæen national park is Njegoš's Mausoleum. The location for his burrial place and the mausoleum at the summit of Jezerski vrh was chosen by Njegoš himself as his last wish.Njegoš's express wish was to be buried in a small chapel...

KonstantinII Says: When you see the Chapel and the Crypt you just have to go behind the Mausoleum and take a short walk by the tiny, narrow pathway from the Mausoleum to "Vidikovac" the place where the whole Montenegro will open up infront of your eyes (if it's a nice day though ;o).It's only...
KonstantinII Says: Behind the "bistrik" - the rain well, you come infront of two caryatids that represent the mother and the sister (they weight around 29 tons, as I remember).Between the two caryatid lies the door, the enctrence to the chapel.
KonstantinII Says: The sarcophagus reminds of traditional Montenegrin grave, with national coat-of-arms and a cross carved in the stone, as symbols of Njegos as a spiritual and state ruler. With simple wording: NJEGOS 1813-1851.
KonstantinII Says: Petar II Petrovic Njegoš (born November 1st 1813, died October 10 1851) Serbian poet, ruler of Montenegro, vladika (bishop) of "Mitropoly (Bishopy) of Montenegro and seaside".Born in Njeguši, educated in monastery of Cetinje, he became ruler of Montenegro when he was 17....
KonstantinII Says: The chapel is the most impressive part of the Mausoleum. It is a domed construction with six lateral and one central niche, made of finest marble from Kotor (Montenegro) and Brac (Croatia).At the level of nine meters the apse is covered with fascinating mosaic with as many...
KonstantinII Says: On the entrence you will see a sort of well called BISTRIK (read in english something like "district" but instead of D say B, and don't read the T on the end).That's the traditional way of preserving water in Montenegro homes, especially the rain water.
KonstantinII Says: You'll park your car just under the highest peak (there's a restaurant there and a small museum).To the Mausoleum you will have to climb exactly 461 stairs.I'm not sure, but it might mean the number of years that Serbia Kingdom was under Turkish rule. (Something like the...
On the way up to Montenegro Olymp!
KonstantinII Says: In order to explain to someone who 's not from around, the meaning of Lovcen Mountain for people of Montenegro you'll hear from locals that Lovcen is for them as Mount Olymp is for all Greeks (or was in past times).This meaning was even more stronger after the burying the...

jelena19 Says: You can go to Lovcen from Kotor by car,bus or taxi.I think the taxi is about 50 euro (it's expensive???).But you must to use the roAd that local people call KANICE.Why?Because what you can see from this roud it's something that you can not see ever.It;s pearl of...
Ask someone in Kotor for the route!
KonstantinII Says: Just make sure that you have a good map or a good explenation how to get there, 'cause I'm not sure you'll be able to find someone to tell you where to go on the way there and there are poor road sighns on the way (and back)!!!!!!!!!!!
KonstantinII Says: You definitely have to go there by car (you can take the bus, but I prefered the car).There are few roads that will take you to Lovcen Mausoleum but one of the most beautiful roads I've ever traveled is the "old" road from Kotor to Lovcen%.
