We took a drive through the river Moraca Canyon & didn't realize before now they are the second deepest in the world, second only to the Grand Canyons in the U.S. The drive was absolutely amazing & is situated within the National Park Dumitor which is a UNESCO site of natural beauty. We stopped at the 13th century Moraca Monastery where the monks are self sufficient. It's situated in a wonderful peaceful enclave & it's a very special place. There's a small Byzantine church with frescos & icons there & you can also buy honey & a couple of other products they produce. On the drive we were surrounded by huge mountain peaks & glacier lakes, one of which we stopped at, Black Lake. We also crossed the river Tara, where you could fly across the canyon on a zip-line a couple of hundred metres above the canyon!! It was a long drive as we came from Budva, so be prepared (but it was SO well worth it as we would not have missed it for anything!)

The deepest canyon outside North America is well worth a detour. There's an excellent view from the bridge, where there are also zip-lines for the brave. The canyon is also visible from further west in the Durmitor National Park.
