Exploring the Mystical Stećci at Vrazje Lake: A Photo Tour with Summit
Montenegro’s Durmitor National Park is a land of breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. At Summit, we are passionate about unveiling the magic of this UNESCO-protected region, and our latest adventure took us on a fascinating photo tour to the mystical stećci at Vrazje Lake in a stunning winter setting.
A Journey Through Time and Nature
Led by our expert guide Dejan, a true Durmitor enthusiast, we embarked on a journey that combined history, culture, and the stunning natural beauty of Montenegro. Our adventure began early in the morning, with the crisp mountain air energizing us for the day ahead. As we made our way towards Vrazje Lake, the golden sunlight painted the snow-covered landscape, creating the perfect setting for photography.
Vrazje Lake, known for its striking turquoise waters and serene surroundings, is a place of legend and mystery. It is named after the Montenegrin word for “devil” due to the eerie beauty and local folklore surrounding it. However, what makes this place even more special is the presence of medieval stećci – enigmatic tombstones that date back to the 12th and 16th centuries.
Capturing the Spirit of the Stećci
Upon arriving at the site, we were captivated by the ancient stećci, scattered gracefully across the landscape. These intricately carved stone monuments tell stories of a bygone era, representing the medieval culture of the Balkans. Dejan shared fascinating insights about the history and symbolism of the stećci, explaining their unique designs and the legends associated with them.
For photography enthusiasts, this was a dream location. The contrast between the rugged stone monuments and the shimmering lake, surrounded by a winter wonderland, provided a stunning visual composition. Dejan led our guests to the most attractive locations, where they captured breathtaking photos of the snow-covered scenery and ancient tombstones. The guests were absolutely thrilled with the experience, amazed by the unique beauty of the area and the enchanting atmosphere of the winter landscape.
An Unforgettable Experience
As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the lake and the stećci, we took a moment to soak in the serenity of the place. This wasn’t just a photo tour; it was a journey through history, nature, and artistic expression. The experience left us inspired and with a deeper appreciation for Montenegro’s cultural heritage.
