Lovćen National Park

Mountain park with Njegoš's mausoleum in central Montenegro, near Kotor

Lovćen's summit, Jezerski Vrh, is crowned by the Mausoleum of Petar Petrović Njegoš, the park's most significant attraction. The park lies between Cetinje, Budva and Kotor, and on a clear day the view is said to reach Italy across the Adriatic sea.
