Welcome to Mojkovac, a town on the Tara River, known for its turbulent history and cultural route that leads through Brskovo, Bojna Njiva, monuments and monasteries. Here natural beauty meets heroic past.
Brskovo and town center
Brskovo was a medieval mining town where the first silver coins of the region were minted. In the center of Mojkovac stands the statue of Serdar Janko Vukotić, symbol of the Mojkovac battle and the fight for freedom.
“The Mojkovac battle proved that one day of freedom is worth more than years of slavery.”
Bojna Njiva and monuments
On Bojna Njiva in 1916, the Montenegrin army stopped Austro-Hungarian troops. The Tara Bridge and the Monument to the Heroes of the Mojkovac Battle are symbols of the town. The Grotulja partisan complex commemorates the victims of World War II.
“At Mojkovac’s gates, Serdar Janko Vukotić’s army fought hand to hand to defend Montenegro’s honor.”
Dobrilovina Monastery and tradition
The Monastery of St. George in Dobrilovina, known as Little Morača, was a center of spirituality and literacy. The first school in Potarje was opened here. Today it is a place of memory and cultural heritage. Mojkovac is also known for traditional mead, a drink made from mountain honey.
