Eco-village Podgora is located 7km from Zabljak, halfway between Durmitor and Tara.
300 years ago, that location was known as Tepaca. Most of the farmers had summer pastures in that area, and would move to different places during winter. With time, Zabljak was developing as a main city in that region, and people were starting to make their permanent homes in the village.
Podgora became one of the first cultural centers in Durmitor region. The first school, the library, and the folk dance group “Sloga” were established in the village at the end of the last century. Over the time, Podgora inhabitants were able to preserve their tradition, a simple way of life, and love for nature.
The proof of their uniqueness is the fact that this is the first and only Eco-village of this kind in Montenegro.
In this time and age, when sustainable living is the only way of renewing rather than depleting the planet's resources, the one has to be ready to meet all the local and global challenges, and help promote and sustain eco-friendly way of living. All Podgora inhabitants are ready to do that, so they can pave the way to sustainable living in all the places in Eco-state of Montenegro.

Eco-village Podgora is surrounded by Tara River canyon- biosphere resource, which is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is part of Durmitor National Park.
It is a 10 to 60 min walk from Eco-village that leads to several points from which you can see the deepest canyon in Europe and the second deepest in the world. You will witness the spectacular mountain scenery and series of breathtaking waterfalls.
All of the village nature walks take you through a beautiful forest landscape and uplands.

Vilino guvno, Ravni, Brojila, Tmorska glavica, Soa, Ćurevac are just a few of many attractive scenery points and some of them have been just recently open to the public.

Nothing that is man made, not even a 3D Cinema with all the fancy high tech sound effects can quite compare with such an incredible depth that Tara brings with her colors, sounds, and mysterious pathways trough the canyon. To be immersed in such a beauty is the unique experience that will stay with you forever.
It will affect your whole being, and it is a retreat to your body and your soul.

Warning: Since this area is part of Durmitor National park, and is protected by UNESCO, all site visitors have to comply with NP Durmitor rules.

“A river sings a holy song conveying the mysterious truth that we are a river, and if we are ignorant of this natural law, we are lost”. -Thomas Moore
