Mojkovac’s travel profile ranges from river activities to traces of history. When planning, it is worth choosing a focus: Tara, cycling and leisure activities, or Brskovo each offer a different emphasis. This lets you prioritize topics for your stay according to your interests.
Tara and active days
Mojkovac offers Tara-related outdoor activities such as fly fishing, kayaking and rafting. Other activities include mountain biking, horse riding, mountaineering and paragliding. Water- and land-based activities offer different options for planning your day. Check operators, conditions and seasonal availability separately.
The fly-fishing zone along the Tara extends 8 km toward Mojkovac. It includes both rapids and calm stretches suitable for fishing for trout and grayling. Rapids and quieter stretches alternate here. If you plan to fish here, check local access conditions and applicable fishing rules in advance.
A 19-hectare sports and recreation zone is located at the entrance to Mojkovac. A 1.5 km cycling and walking path runs through it; the facilities also include an outdoor fitness area, a children’s playground and a tennis court. This brings several kinds of physical activity together in one place. Facilities may change over time, so check the current setup before your visit.
Brskovo: Traces of a fortified settlement
The site at Brskovo preserves the remains of a fortified settlement on Gradina hill. These include a round tower, as well as traces of a church and a settlement at Doganjice. The remains may be only briefly interpreted on site. For orientation, it helps to distinguish between the individual structural features rather than expect a detailed explanation of the complex.
The wider setting: the broader Mojkovac destination
The broader Mojkovac destination also encompasses mountain landscapes and protected areas. A 370-hectare section of Biogradska gora National Park lies within the municipality of Mojkovac. The northwestern parts of the Bjelasica range and the northeastern part of Sinjajevina also belong to the municipality. Spring and summer katuns of local shepherds are located in this part of Sinjajevina. Bjelasica is home to more than 2,000 plant species, and some trees are over 400 years old.
Crna Poda is a virgin forest of black pines in the Tara Canyon between Bistrica and Dobrilovina. The trees grow up to 45 m tall and are on average 400 years old. Lake Zabojsko is also part of this wider regional setting: it lies at an elevation of 1,477 m above Dobrilovina on the northeastern slopes of Sinjajevina and is Montenegro’s third-deepest lake.
A hiking trail passes through the Laništa katun of the Bogavac family at the Bjelasica pass on the edge of the Biogradska gora area. The route runs from Biogradsko jezero via Laništa and Bjelojevići to Mojkovac. It connects several named points along the way; trail conditions can vary.
Brskovo’s history extends beyond its surviving structural traces: in the 13th century and the early part of the 14th century, it was an important economic and trading center for the wider region. According to tradition, the region’s first silver coin was minted there. The gusle remain an important part of traditional music in the villages of Mojkovac. The region’s food culture also includes Štitarica rolled cheese, traditionally made from the milk of local cows and offered as a product from Mojkovac. Availability from individual producers may vary.
