Helpfulness
Favorite thing: Risan is surprisingly green and lush. The town sits below Mt. Orjen (6159 feet), which boasts of the highest precipitation in Europe. Paradoxically, the Bay of Kotor area suffers from a constant water shortage. This is due to the heavy karstification of the area - drainage into sinkholes, caves and underground streams. Efforts are underway in Montenegro to tap into this precious resource.
