Prutas is only the 9th spot on the list of highest peaks of Durmitor, but climbing on Prutas is for me the best because this massive is the most beautiful and popular and it is also the largest Durmitor peaks. Prutovi which is plural of the word Prut which means a twig of branch, such as those of which baskets are made. Prutas got its name after them, a mountain made of twigs.
Prutas is approached by three marked paths: from Dobri do (2:30 h), from Todorov Do (1:30h) and from Skrka valley (2h). Prutas is far from the Zabljak, so be prepared for long walk. On the northeast is amazing Skrka Valley with it's two famous lakes: Veliko 1686m and Malo Skrcko Jezero1711m.
