Ostrog was founded by the famous Saint Basil of Ostrog, today a vine grows in the rock, reminiscent of this Saint.

The peculiarity of Ostrog monastery is that it is built into the rock. The walls of the cells are partly composed of rock. Abodes are located above and below, to get to the upper temples, it is necessary to overcome a certain distance. The cave church houses the relics of the elder Basil and other saints, here you can see a lot of attractions. Monks can tell about the miracles associated with the temple complex.

Another attraction of these places is the village of Negushi, which is located at the foot of Lovcen, in fact the village is also located in a mountainous area, there is a special microclimate.
Tourists will visit everywhere. They will be offered to walk around the reserve, breathe the clean mountain air, filled with the aromas of deciduous and coniferous trees. Then you can climb higher to the mausoleum. The road is quite heavy, especially the last hundred meters, but it’s worth it. During sightseeing tours in Montenegro, tourists visit the mausoleum only in favorable weather. In winter, it is closed-the top of the mountain is closed by a 5-meter cap of snow.
