A Remarkable Place to Visit in Montenegro
I had the experience of visiting a place of natural beauty. Just a short drive from Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro lies the Niagara falls. Although the Niagara waterfall of Podgorica is smaller in size when compared to the Niagara falls at the border of the USA and Canada
In the heart of Montenegro, along the Cijevna River and just a short drive of about 20 minutes or less from the city of Podgorica, lies this hidden gem—a waterfall that feels like something out of a dream. Podgorica Niagara Falls has an allure of its own, drawing visitors for its raw natural beauty, crystal-clear pools of turquoise color, and tranquil surroundings. This waterfall has a unique charm, capturing the hearts of both locals and travelers alike.
As I approached the waterfall, I could already hear the rush of the water even before I saw it, inviting me to come closer. A welcoming, natural sound in an otherwise quiet region. The sound of the water might sound powerful, yet I think that it is calming. It brings the whole area to life. The surroundings are beautiful with the cliffs, and lush greenery that seems to sway in harmony with the flow of the river that crashes over the rock. The water has this strikingly vibrant turquoise color, a vivid blue green that feels almost too pure to be real.
Another thing remarkable and what makes this place even more unique is a restaurant perched nearby, named Restoran Niagara. The restaurant offers a perfect view of the falls and serves traditional Montenegrin cuisine, allowing guests to enjoy hearty meals while soaking in the beauty of the natural surroundings. Imagine enjoying a plate of freshly grilled meat or cheese-stuffed pastries, accompanied by a glass of local wine, with the sound of the waterfall in the background.
Montenegro’s Niagara Falls is one of those hidden treasures that captures the spirit of Podgorica—a place where natural beauty, local charm, and quiet adventure come together. It is a reminder that Montenegro has so much to offer beyond the more well-known beaches and mountains.
The Niagara waterfall is not just a scenic spot but a peaceful place, an invitation to slow down and appreciate the less traveled path of Montenegro's underrated beauty. I would suggest that anyone who is passing through Podgorica, should add Niagara Falls to your bucket list. To find this unique spot, you will need to make your way through Podgorica. So, If you are visiting Podgorica, you can quickly escape into the calm embrace of nature.
