Hello to all readers of my blog! Sorry for the long silence - too much work has piled on 🙁
I hasten to tell you about where we went and where we were last week ..
At the weekend, we took friends on an excursion to Skadar Lake - everyone was delighted! We left early, first arrived in Rijeka Crnoevich - there we have a good friend named Lyudmila - the manager of the national cuisine restaurant Konak Perionik. The history of this restaurant is about 300 years old, at one time it served as a haven for the princely retinue, which Lyudmila kindly told us about. She also arranged for us to take a boat ride on the lake - a private boat - 3 hours for only 50 euros! While our lunch was being prepared, Lyudmila recommended a wander along the Obod River and suggested a place where you can swim. In this place, the river flows from the mountains and is cold, but, according to her, there is a small bath where the water is warmer! On the way we met old water mills - very informative. It seems to us that we never found that bath with warm water, and therefore we wet our feet in a mountain river. The sun was so hot that the water dried up just instantly.
After walking and getting hungry, we returned to Lyudmila, where a real feast of baked trout, fish soup (the locals call it “ribley chorba”), classic cevapi, eel risotto and homemade wine awaited us! I note that each dish cost only 6 euros! I offer photos for gourmets:
Historical reference: the town of Rijek Crnojevic is located in the mountains and for several years served as the residence of Ivan Crnojevic, the ruler of Montenegro in the 16th century, it was here that the first book in Montenegro was printed. Rijeka Tsrrnojevića is located in an area of amazing beauty, but now it comes to life only during the tourist season. After the devastating earthquake in Montenegro in 1979, many houses were destroyed, and local residents were given apartments in Podgorica, where they remained.
And here is the famous old bridge, the image of which can now be seen on the label of the famous Montenegrin wine Vranac (“Vranac”), which is produced by Plantaze.
To be continued…
