TOP 10 MONTENEGRO ATTRACTIONS

Montenegro is a small country in Southern Europe, where the maritime and mountain climate touching each other. A country full of contrasts, with beautiful coast, sandy and rocky beaches, magical lakes, high mountains, stunning views and unique medieval cities. A country  where you can change mountain scenery for maritime one for only 30 minutes drive. It was difficult to select Top 10 attractions in Montenegro, because there is at least 10 more interesting places for visit. I gave a priority to the natural sites rather than man-made ones.

10. Nevidio Canyon

Situated in central part of Montenegro, 55 km away from Nikšić, and 50 km away from Žabljak towards Šavnik. Nevidio Canyon is part of Mala Komarnica river, which rises at the pedestal of the southern part of Durmitor mountain. The place where millions of years ago the mountains of Durmitor and Vojnik crashed into each other. The river Mala Komarnica had cut this canyon deep in the severe rock long time ago.

Nevidio Canyon

This is the last conquered canyon in Europe. It is hardly accessible place. Ideal for adventure and untouched nature seekers. The name Nevidio (Never seen) or Nevidibog (Never seen by God) speaks for itself. Its cliffs are so close to each other that at some point they prevent the light from getting in. It is one of the biggest climbing challenges in this part of Europe. 

Canyoning through the Nevidio Canyon (www.tarasportrafting.com)

It was conquered in 1965 for the first time. The best time to conquest the canyon is in late summer when water is not high. Full climbing equipment, including diving suits is necessary for this adventure.

Best place for adventure seekers

On the way through 3,5 km long canyon, you will come across on waterfalls, straits, cascades, white water, narrow canals and whole gallery of nature-made sculptures. The hardest challenge is so called Gate of Kamikazes, 80 meters long section and in some parts only 25 centimetres wide.Those who decide to take this alpine adventure must know that once you get in and start going down the galleries, cascades and waterfalls you can`t go back - you have to go all the way to the end. 

Variety of beautiful sections (www.gotomontenegro.eu)

Time of the tour: 8-12 hours (depends on starting point), 3-4 hours through the canyon. 
Difficulty: A moderately difficult canyoning journey
Tour season: June - September
Guides: All guides are experienced climbers. 
Price: 90-120 euro, depends on organiser.



9. Ada Bojana


Ada Bojana is an island in the Ulcinj municipality in Montenegro. The name Ada means island in Turkish. The island is created by river delta of the Bojana river. According to a legend, it was formed by gathering river sand around a ship sunk at the mouth of Bojana river. But, it is more likely to be a delta in formation. 

Ada Bojana

It is located on southernmost point of Montenegro, with only the Bojana river separating it from Pulaj and Velipoje in Albania. The island is of triangular shape, bordered from two sides by Bojana river, and by the Adriatic Sea from the south-west.

Bojana river (www.dalila.me)

It is a popular tourist destination, with 3 km long sandy beach with traditional seafood restaurants. It is also an "official" naturist area.

As a nature resort, the current facilities include bungalows and one-story buildings with 540 hotel beds and a caravan and tent camping area. There are also pile dwellings at Bojana river available for rent.

Pile dwellings

Ada Bojana is ideal place for relaxing vacation, various sport activities, horse riding and fishing. It is one of the premier kitesurfing and windsurfing locations on the Adriatic Coast with strong cross onshore winds during summer afternoons.

8. National Park Biogradska Gora

The greatest natural value of this Park is the rainforest Biogradska gora, which covers the area of 1600 ha. It is one of the last three rainforests in Europe. Located in the mountainous region of Bjelasica in the central part of Montenegro, between rivers Tara and Lim, surrounded by three municipalities: Kolašin, Berane and Mojkovac.

NP Biogradska Gora (www.kolasin.montenegro.travel)

Basic elements of the Park are: untouched forest,large mountain slopes and tops over 2.000 meters high, six glacial lakes, five at an altitude of 1820 meters and one easy accessible, Biograd Lake.

Biogradska Gora rainforest

The Park has 26 plant communities with around 2.000 species and subspecies. Out of over 200 bird species, particularly interesting is the Imperial eagle. Dear, fawn, leap, wolf, wild boar, fox, rabbit and over 350 different insects species have found their habitat in the Park.

Biogradsko Lake

Biogradska gora is ideal place for hiking, recreation, bird watching and enjoying  the beautiful scenery.

Admission: Adults 3 euro, free entrance for children under 7 years

THE ISLAND OF ICE AND FIRE - part IV

Leaving the wonderful environment of Lake Myvatn, we are deeply entered the eastern half of the Island. The area with only 14,000 inhabitants. Desert landscapes intertwined with  lava fields  and weather conditions  which can be reversed for a short time. There`s only one law in this area, the law of nature . Travelers may often run into serious problems in case of wrong weather assessment  and "not listening" what nature has to say.

Road to the Dettifoss waterfall

One of those areas  is road to the most powerful waterfall in Europe, Dettifoss waterfall. Valley,  which cuts the river Jokulsa a Fjollum belongs to Vatnajokull National Park. The river flows under the ice cap of Iceland's largest glacier Vatnajokull. On its way to the confluence in the Oxarfjordur, intersects the Highlands in interior of Iceland. The river collects  tremendous amount of water from the Highlands.

Dettifoss (www.northiceland.is)

Dettifoss is the largest waterfall in Europe by the amount of ejected water, with an average flow rate of 193 m3 /s. It is 100 meters wide and has a drop of 45 meters, where is the Jökulsárgljúfur  canyon, "carved" by vast amount of water.

Wet and delighted, Dettifoss

Due to the large amount of water that splashes you from all sides , a longer stay next to the waterfall isn`t possible. It is almost certain that you`ll be completely wet, which can be very dangerous if you don`t have spare clothes. Dettifoss is not that beautiful  like most of the attractions in Iceland. But it`s a place where you`ll feel the power of nature and learn to respect it. A few hundred meters upstream from Dettifoss, the Selfoss waterfall  is situated,  with a drop of 11 meters.

Waterfall Selfoss

Driving along Route 1 toward the eastern fjords  can be seen as a special attraction. Fantastic landscapes with unusual mountain peaks which emerges from the fields of sparse vegetation. You have the impression that you are in some parallel world, in a science fiction movie. That`s the reason why  filmmakers love this island. It`s ideal location for a "role" of other planets  and strange worlds.

  

Magical scenery of East Iceland

With only 2260 inhabitants, the largest town in East Iceland is Eggilstadir. This fact shows how much the East is sparsely populated. Like most of the "major" cities in Iceland, has an airport with regular flights to Reykjavik .

The greatest attraction in the East are beautiful fjords, carved by deep sea. Once, this part of the country was covered by a blanket of ice. After that, there has been melting of ice that shaped dents  in the land and allowed  sea water to penetrate deeply into it. Most visited fjord is Seydisfjordur, the  Port where some of the famous cruise lines sails in. From this port sails a regular " Smyril Line " for the Faeroe Islands (Torshavn) and Denmark (Hirtshals).

Smyril Line sails into the fjord (www.smyrilline.com)

From Seyðisfjörður toward  south,there are Mjoifjorđur, Eskifjođur, Rejđarfjorđur, Faskruđsfjordur, Stođvarfjorđur and Berufjorđur. Each of these fjords have inhabited settlements  with developed local community. Although small, these towns, for Icelandic conditions, all have fish factories and handball clubs, as it is the most popular sport in Iceland. Fish factories  are mainly joint stock companies. In case of large catches all residents work  together around the clock on fish processing. It does not matter who is who in town, whether a doctor, a lawyer, a fisherman or a butcher. When it`s necessary they team up, because all can benefit from it. They are taking out from the nature, but also respect it. To average Europeans it is difficult to understand, but in Iceland it is the law. Man doesn`t adjust the nature to itself, but learns how to live in harmony with nature, respecting its laws.

Stođvarfjorđur

Through the picturesque fjords, Route 1 heading south near the small town of Djúpivogur to Hofn, the largest city in the southeast.  A fishing town known for the best lobster in Iceland, situated near Hornafjordur. Hofn is the starting point for a glacier Vatnajokull tour, and perhaps the greatest attraction in Iceland, Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. You can visit an interesting glacier exhibition in Hofn and see the story of an expedition to Vatnajokull.

Hofn

80 kilometers west of Hofn, there is a unique natural phenomenon, the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. Lagoon is actually a glacial lake that flows into the sea. The ice from glacier Breiđarmerkurjokull is moving down and creates a unique scenery.

Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon

Incredible landscape formed by icebergs of all shades from white to blue, is a magnet for visitors. Lagoon can be visited by amphibian boat or "Zodiac" boat. Driving with amphibian boat lasts 30-40 minutes, one hour with “Zodiac”.

   Amphibian, Jokulsarlon

Price for amphibian tour  is 4000 ISK (26 euros), for “Zodiac” is 6500 (41 euro). The advantage of visiting the lagoon by boat  is that you can approach the icebergs, navigate between them, all the time listening to the guides story about the origin of the lagoon and see the seals from close range. Seals are permanent residents of Jokulsarlon and great attraction for tourists.

Iceberg, Jokulsarlon

The color of the icebergs in the lagoon occurs as a result of refraction of light rays. The same piece of ice can change color several times during the day. Lagoon constantly changes its appearance, the color and shape of ice in it, is never the same. You will have a different experience every single time you visit it.

Spectacular scenery, Jokulsarlon

The Glacier Lagoon is often used for scenes of famous world movies. Jokulsarlon is best known as place of shooting the James Bond movies. At first in 1985. "A View to a Kill", then in 2002. "Die Another Day", when lagoon was closed for two months, in order to freeze for shooting car chase scene in the frozen lagoon.

A scene from the film " Die Another Day " (www.jamesbondwiki.com)

This area of Iceland is rarely populated and finding accommodation can be a big problem. 13 km from the lagoon towards Hofn  is a Hali Country Hotel, which has a restaurant with homemade food. Prices are very affordable for Icelandic conditions, with outstanding accommodation and service. The price for double room with buffet breakfast for two persons is from 115 to 175 euro. The average dinner in the restaurant is 30-40 euro. There is no another or better choice In this region of the country. Within the hotel complex there is a museum dedicated to Thorbergur Thorđarson, one of the greatest writers in Iceland. Otherwise, Iceland is a country with the highest number of writers per capita. Every tenth Icelander has published a book.

Thorbergur Museum and Cultural Center

Overnight near the glacier lagoon has a positive side, because you can experience the morning in the lagoon, when the colors of ice are even more intense. Icebergs, which were previously placed in the middle of lagoon, next day can sail into the ocean.

Icebergs sails into the sea

Outside the lagoon, on the beautiful  beach with black volcanic sand, you can see icebergs coming out from the lagoon and sail into the sea.

Fight with ice

Route 1 towards West leads to a Nature reserve cape Ingolfshofdi , 30 kilometers from Jokulsarlon. Here you can pay a sightseeing tour of the Nature reserve with the main attraction, Puffin watching. Price is around 4,000 ISK (26 euros).

Nature reserve, Ingolfshofdi (www.hof1.is)

The tour itself is an attraction, because it involves driving on tractor through the vast black beaches to Nature reserve that bulging out of the water and volcanic sand.

Ingolfshofdi tour

The reserve is named after Ingolfur Arnarson, the first settler in Iceland. It is believed that it was precisely on this place where he disembarked on the Island for the first time. There is a monument on the cape dedicated to him.

Puffin

The greatest attraction of the reserve are the favorite birds in Iceland, puffins. They are actually a trademark of Iceland. Ingolfshofdi is one of the places where you can see these lovely birds. Most of them can be found on Westman Islands, in the southwest of the country. Various species of birds could be seen on Ingolfshofdi. Particular attention is drawn to the Great Skua (Stercoranus Skua). Sea bird, originating from the Faroe Islands.

Great Skua

Our journey takes us to Skaftafell, one of the centers of Vatnajokull National Park. Formerly an independent national park, providing rich content to visitors. From hiking on attractive paths, to glaciers tours with full protective gear.

Glacier Skaftafellsjokull

The greatest attraction of the park is Svertifoss waterfall, or The Black Waterfall. Different from all waterfalls we saw in Iceland. It is characterized by basaltic lava columns, just like those at the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland. Waterfall is named after the black rocks of volcanic origin.

Black waterfall - Svertifoss

On the way towards Reykjavik we  pass through the area of frequent large beaches with black volcanic sand. Formed as a result of volcanic eruptions that melting glaciers and floods that carry the ashes and other volcanic materials throughout the area. There`s been a serious floods with destruction of bridges and roads, also evacuation of the locals. As very rational people, Icelanders have decided to build prefabricated metal bridges with one stripe in these sections.

Prefabricated bridge in the south of Iceland

The southernmost settlement on the island is the village of Vik, 180 km from Reykjavik. It is the largest settlement within 70 km, although it has only 290 inhabitants. It is known for the most beautiful black beach in Iceland, with a trademark – the black rocks that protrude from the sea.

Vik

Waterfall Skogafoss is another attraction in the south of Iceland. Situated on the cliffs of the former coastline.  Over time, it shifted the coastline seaward for about 5 km. It is situated on the river Skogar and has a drop of 60 meters.

Skogafoss (www.winterwonderland.is)

A journey around Iceland is slowly coming to an end. We enjoy the scenery created by lava fields and arrive to the currently best known volcano on the island, Eyjafjallajokull, the "murderer" of the European air traffic.

Under the volcano, Eyjafjallajokull

On the way to the Keflavik international airport going through my mind the image of what we, my good friend and best companion for travel, Bojan and I, have seen in the distant Iceland. We traveled almost the whole Europe, but we haven`t seen yet so many beautiful  places in one country. And  we haven`t  seen all. Desire for a visit of some remote and inaccessible parts of the country, rich with wonders of nature, still remains. Iceland is a magical, beautiful, raw, dramatic, unique... I could make a list of it, but I know one thing, I'll be back again! You can bet on it!

THE END

OSTRVO VATRE I LEDA - IV deo

Obilaskom prelepe okoline jezera Myvatn, duboko smo zašli u istočnu polovinu Islanda. Područje na kojem živi samo 14.000 stanovnika. Pustinjski pejzaži isprepletani poljima lave, vremenski uslovi koji se za kratko vreme mogu preokrenuti. Na ovom prostoru postoji samo jedan zakon, zakon prirode. Putnike često mogu da zadese ozbiljni problemi, ako loše procene vremenske prilike i "ne osluškuju" šta priroda ima da kaže. 

Put prema vodopadu Dettifoss

Jedno od takvih područja je put prema najmoćnijem vodopadu Evrope, Dettifossu. Dolina koju useca reka Jokulsa a Fjollum pripada Nacionalnom Parku Vatnajokull. Reka izvire ispod ledene kape najvećeg islandskog glečera Vatnajokulla, presecajući visoravan u unutrašnjosti do samog severa Islanda gde se uliva u Oxarfjordur. Na svom putu reka skupi ogromnu količinu vode sa visokih platoa. 

Dettifoss (www.northiceland.is)

Dettifoss je najveći vodopad Evrope po količini izbačene vode, sa prosečnim protokom od 193 m3/s. Širok je 100 metara i ima pad od 45 metara, gde je ogromna količina vode "isklesala" kanjon Jokulsargljufur.

Mokar i oduševljen, Dettifoss

Zbog velike količine vode koja vas zapljuskuje sa svih strana, duži boravak pored vodopada nije moguć. Gotovo je sigurno da ćete biti potpuno mokri, što može biti veoma opasno ako nemate rezervnu odeću. Dettifoss nije lep kao većina atrakcija Islanda, ali je mesto na kome ćete osetiti moć prirode i naučićete da je poštujete. Uzvodno od Dettifossa nalazi se vodopad Selfoss sa padom od 11 metara.

Vodopad Selfoss

Vožnja rutom 1 ka istočnim fjordovima, može se gledati kao posebna atrakcija. Fantastični pejzaži koje formiraju prostrana polja oskudne vegetacije iz kojih izviru neobični planinski vrhovi. Imate utisak da se nalazite u nekom paralelnom svetu, u nekom SF filmu. Upravo je ovaj deo ostrva privukao mnoge filmadžije, kojima je Island idealna lokacija za "ulogu" neke druge planete i neobičnih svetova. 
  

Magični prizori istoka Islanda

Da je istočni deo ostrva najređe naseljeni deo zemlje, pokazuje podatak da najveći grad, Eggilstađir ima svega 2.260 stanovnika. Kao i većina "većih" gradova na Islandu ima aerodrom sa redovnim letovima za Rejkjavik.

Putnike na istoku Islanda najviše privlače fjordovi koje vode okeana duboko usecaju. Nekada je ovaj deo zemlje bio pokriven ledenim glacijalnim pokrivačem, koji je otapanjem leda "isklesao" udubljenja u kopnu i omogućio morskoj vodi da prodre duboko u njega. Najposećeniji fjord je Seydisfjordur, luka u koju uplovljavaju poznati kruzeri. Iz ove luke plovi redovna linija "Smyril Line" za Farska ostrva (Torshavn) i Dansku (Hirtshals).

Smyril Line uplovljava u fjord (www.smyrilline.com)

Od Seydisfjordura dalje prema jugu pružaju se Mjoifjorđur, Eskifjođur, zatim veliki Rejđarfjorđur, Faskruđsfjordur, Stođvarfjorđur i Berufjorđur. Svaki od ovih fjordova ima naseljeno mesto sa razvijenom lokalnom zajednicom. Iako mali, ovi, za islandske uslove gradovi, imaju fabrike ribe i rukometaške klubove, pošto je to najpopularniji sport na Islandu. Fabrike za preradu ribe su uglavnom akcionarska društva i u njima u slučaju velikih ulova rade svi meštani danonoćno. Nije važno ko je ko u mestu, da li je lekar, advokat, ribar ili mesar. Kada je potrebno udružuju se, jer posle svi imaju koristi od toga. Od prirode se uzima, ali se i poštuje. Prosečnom Evropljaninu to je teško da razume, ali na Islandu je to zakon. Čovek ne prilagođava prirodu sebi, već uči kako da živi u skladu sa prirodom, poštujući njene zakone.

Stođvarfjorđur

Kroz živopisne fjordove, ruta 1 vodi na jug pored mesta Đupivogur do najvećeg grada na jugoistoku, Hofn-a, ribarskog grada poznatog po najboljem jastogu na Islandu. Smešeten je u blizini Hornafjordur fjorda. Početna je tačka za obilazak glečera Vatnajokull, i možda najveće atrakcije na Islandu, Jokulsarlon lagune glečera. U Hofnu možete posetiti interesantnu izložbu glečera i videti priču o ekspediciji na Vatnajokull.

Hofn

80 kilometara zapadno od Hofna, nalazi se jedinstvena prirodna pojava, laguna glečera Jokulsarlon. Laguna je zapravo glacijalno jezero koje se uliva u more. U nju se spušta led sa krakova glečera Breiđarmerkurjokull i kreira jedinstven prizor. 

Jokulsarlon laguna glečera

Neverovatan pejzaž koji formiraju sante leda svih nijansi od bele do plave boje, pravi su magnet za posetioce. Lagunu je moguće obići amfibijom ili čamcem "Zodiac": Vožnja amfibijom traje 30-40 minuta, zodijakom jedan sat.

   Amfibija, Jokulsarlon

Cena vožnje amfibijom je 4.000 ISK (26 eura), zodijakom 6.500 (41 euro). Prednost obilaska lagune plovilima je što možete prići santama leda, ploviti između njih, sve vreme od vodiča slušati priču o nastanku lagune i videti izbliza foke koje su stalni stanovnici Jokulsarlona.

Santa leda, Jokulsarlon

Boja santi leda u laguni nastaje kao posledica prelamanja svetlosti sunčevih zraka. Isto parče leda može da promeni boju više puta u toku dana. Laguna stalno menja izgled, i po boji i po obliku leda u njoj, nikada nije ista. Koliko god puta da je posetite, imaćete drugačiji doživljaj.

Spektakularni prizor, Jokulsarlon

Laguna glečera je često korišćena za scene poznatih svetskih filmova. Najpoznatija je po mestu snimanja James Bonda. Prvo 1985. godine, film "View to a Kill", zatim 2002. godine, film "Die Another Day", kada je laguna zatvorena na dva meseca, da bi se zaledila za potrebe snimanja scene jurnjave kolima po zaleđenoj laguni.

Scena iz filma "Die Another Day" (www.jamesbondwiki.com)

Ovaj kraj Islanda je retko naseljen pa nalaženje smeštaja može biti veliki problem. 13 km od lagune u pravcu Hofn-a, nalazi se Hali Country Hotel koji u svom sklopu ima restoran sa domaćom hranom. Cene su za islandske uslove veoma povoljne, uz izvanredan smeštaj i uslugu. Cena dvokrevetne sobe sa doručkom (Švedski sto) za dvoje, kreće se od 115 do 175 eura. Prosečna večera u restoranu je 30-40 eura. U ovom kraju zemlje i nemate nekog drugog, boljeg izbora. U sklopu kompleksa hotela nalazi se muzej posvećen jednom od najvećih pisaca na Islandu, Thorbergur Thorđarson-u. Inače, Island je zemlja sa najviše pisaca po glavi stanovnika. Svaki deseti Islanđanin ima objavljenu knjigu.

Thorbergur muzej i kulturni centar

Noćenje u blizini lagune glečera ima pozitivnu stranu, jer možete doživeti jutro u laguni. Tada su boje leda još intenzivnije. Sante leda koje su prethodni dan bile u sredini lagune, sutradan već mogu zaploviti okeanom. 

Led napušta lagunu i ulazi u more

Na izlasku iz lagune, na prelepoj plaži od crnog vulkanskog peska, možete posmatrati sante leda koje izlaze iz lagune i ulivaju se u more.

Borba sa ledom

Ruta 1 u pravcu zapada vodi  do rezervata prirode rta Ingolfshofdi, 30-ak kilometara od Jokulsarlona. Ovde možete uplatiti turu razgledanja rezervata sa glavnom atrakcijom, posmatranjem pafina (tukana). Cena je oko 4.000 ISK (26 eura).

Rezervat prirode, Ingolfshofdi (www.hof1.is)

Tura je sama po sebi atrakcija jer uključuje vožnju traktorom preko prostranih crnih plaža do rezervata prirode koji štrči iz vode i vulkanskog peska.

Ingolfshofdi tura

Rezervat je dobio ime po Ingolfuru Arnarsonu, prvom doseljeniku na Island. Smatra se da je upravo na ovom mestu prvi put kročio na ostrvo. Na samom rtu postoji spomenik posvećen njemu.

Pafin

Najveća atrakcija rezervata su omiljene ptice na Islandu, pafini (tukani). Oni su zapravo zaštitni znak Islanda. Ingolfshofdi jedno je od mesta gde možete videti ove simpatične ptice. Najviše ih ima na Vestman ostrvima, na jugozapadu zemlje. Na Ingolfshofdiju se mogu videti razne vrste ptica. Posebnu pažnju privlači Great Skua (Stercoranus Skua). Morska ptica, poreklom sa Farskih ostrva.

Great Skua

Put nas dalje vodi ka Skaftafellu, jednom od centara Nacionalnog parka Vatnajokull. Nekada samostalni nacionalni park, pruža bogat sadržaj posetiocima. Od pešačenja po atraktivnim stazama parka, do ture po glečerima pod punom zaštitnom opremom. 

Lednik Skaftafellsjokull

Najveća atrakcija parka je Svertifoss vodopad, u prevodu Crni vodopad. Drugačiji od svih vodopada koje smo videli na Islandu. Karakterišu ga stubovi bazaltne lave, poput onih na Giants Causeway-u u Severnoj Irskoj. Ime je dobio po crnoj boji stene vulkanskog porekla. 

Crni vodopad - Svertifoss

Na putu ka Rejkjaviku prolazimo područjem gde su česte prostrane plaže sa crnim vulkanskim peskom. Nastaju kao posledica vulkanskih erupcija koje tope glečere i uz velike poplave raznose pepeo i ostali vulkanski materijal po okolini. Često je dolazilo i do ozbiljnih poplava uz rušenja mostova, puteva i evakuacije stanovništva. Racionalni Islanđani su se dosetili da na takvim deonicama izgrade metalne montažne mostove sa jednom trakom.

Montažni most na jugu Islanda

Najjužnije naselje na ostrvu je selo Vik, 180 km od Rejkjavika. Najveće je naselje u krugu od 70 km, iako ima samo 290 stanovnika. Poznato je po najlepšoj crnoj plaži na Islandu, sa poznatim obeležjem - crnim stenama koje izviruju iz mora.

Vik

Vodopad Skogafoss je još jedna atrakcija na jugu Islanda. Nalazi se na nekadašnjim liticama morske obale. Vremenom se obala pomerila za oko 5 km kao posledica vulkanskih aktivnosti i napredovanjem obalske linije prema moru. Nalazi se na reci Skogar i ima pad od 60 metara.

Skogafoss (www.winterwonderland.is)

Putovanje po Islandu polako se bliži kraju. Uživamo u neobičnoj lepoti polja lave i nailazimo na trenutno najpoznatiji vulkan na ostrvu, "ubicu" aviosaobraćaja Evrope Eyjafjallajokull. 

U podnožju vulkana Eyjafjallajokull

Na putu ka aerodromu u Keflaviku prolaze mi kroz glavu slike svega što smo, moj dobar prijatelj i najbolji drug za putovanja, Bojan i ja videli na dalekom Islandu. Proputovali smo skoro celu Evropu, ali ovoliko prelepih mesta u jednoj zemlji još nismo videli. I opet nismo videli sve. Ostaje žal za nekim udaljenim i nepristupačnim delovima zemlje, bogatim čudima prirode. Island je magičan, lep, surov, dramatičan, neponovljiv... Mogao bih da nabrajam do sutra, ali znam samo jedno, vratiću se opet! Možete se kladiti u to!

KRAJ
