The film we are presenting documents the intensive field work involved in creating a speleological cadastre for our region, as part of the EU-funded project “Year-round Tourism in Mountain Destinations of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.”
About the Film: Journey to the Center of the Mountain
Prepared by the “Akovo” Speleological Club from Bijelo Polje, this documentary serves as a visual diary of researchers who spent months exploring the hidden corners of Bjelasica, Komovi, and Prokletije. The film showcases caves and pits that had never been systematically documented, revealing fascinating underground chambers and unique biodiversity.
A Foundation for the Future: Developing the cadastre was a vital step in enriching the tourism offer of Northern Montenegro. Key goals included precise mapping of speleological sites, assessing their potential for speleo-tourism under strict environmental standards, and creating an expert database for future research and conservation.
Year-Round Tourism: From Summits to Depths
While hiking and katun tourism are enjoyed on the surface, speleology opens up a whole new underground dimension. Through the expert work of the “Akovo” Speleological Club, these invisible resources have been made visible to the public, serving as a reminder of the importance of preserving these delicate, untouched ecosystems.
