Natural History Photographs


Though we expected that staying close to the entrance of the Prokletije National Park would be ideal, it turned out that the guesthouse offered less privacy than advertised. We therefore moved to another location, and looked for different opportunities to go high up in the mountains. We found a new place to stay in Plav, where we were the first guests! During the day went up the alpine meadows, which rewarded us with some nice plant finds.
