What is it that draws tourists from Germany, Israel, the USA, or France to our remote villages and mountain pastures? The answer lies not only in the breathtaking landscapes but in the people, their hospitality, and flavors that are never forgotten.
Authentic Stories from Our Hosts
In our latest video, we take you on a journey through households that, with the support of the project, have become true tourism gems. Meet the people who are the heart of this offer:
- Slavica Dubak (Šiška Katun): Welcomes guests with a smile and homemade chard pie, while they enjoy horseback riding and traditional skills like milking cows.
- The Kastratović Household (Polica): Boasts a “million-dollar view” and shares stories about the ancient craft center of Gradac.
- The Pešić Family (Tomaševo): Preserves the authenticity of the Vraneš Valley through the recipe for the famous “layered cheese” (lisnati sir), passed down from grandmother to daughter-in-law.
- Slađan Ilić: Offers everything from homemade honey and lamb to the opportunity for tourists to experience village life and agricultural work firsthand.
The video also captures touching moments, such as the story of a young girl caring for her sheep, Rogić and Tačkica, reminding us of the unbreakable bond between humans and nature. From Skadar Lake and the vineyards of Crmnica to the Tara Canyon and the Bajrović Katun above Plav—our villages tell a story of peace and healthy food.
Tourists like Anne from Germany, whom we met while raspberry picking, confirm what guests value most: nature, silence, and direct contact with the hosts.
