Few outside Montenegro know that there's a popular way to drink your coffee here called “dojč" (deutsch) – it's frothy, like a cappucino but without the cocoa and we just ordered a cup to celebrate the fact that our website is now available to read...in German! German tourists are among the most popular and numerous in Montenegro in normal years – pretty much every Montenegrin you speak to cites German guests as their favourites. They also have a long tradition of enjoying hiking, the outdoors and new adventures – so our activity holidays should be a match made in heaven! The German guests who have stumbled across us already have been delighted with what they have found - authentic, active, expertly guided trips which go deep into Montenegro's wildly beautiful national parks; a small friendly group for epic days hiking, kayaking, wild-swimming and meeting locals; a sustainable holiday supporting nature and local people. Undiscovered Montenegro even comes recommended by Geo Saison, Bild Zeitung and Frankfurter Allgemeine! All this has inspired us to reach out to more German-speakers. Of course, it's much easier to search for and read about your perfect holiday in your own language, so we hired a very cheap translator – me! Not a lot of people know that I actually speak reasonable German (lived there as a child, and took a University degree in the language before going on to co-found Undiscovered Montenegro 12 years ago). We are are also expanding our team of guides to include fluent German speakers in preparation for our first 100% German-language tour. Click here to read our German pages – and if you spot any mistakes (and there will be plenty!), let me know. I'm a little rusty, and need plenty of practice! And I know you're dying to ask –

At last there's light at the end of a particularly long and badly lit tunnel! Viable vaccines and faster tests are bringing optimism back to travel and life in general. Enquiries have already picked up for 2021 and we've taken our first reservations in months. Yes it's early days, but the now exotic, intoxicating idea of taking a holiday to Montenegro or indeed anywhere is back on the table. Important first steps enabling this have happened. Our main market, the UK, has at last caught up with the rest of Europe – a test and release scheme will start this month allowing trips abroad with just five days' quarantine on return, while sleeves will be rolling up soon for first jabs. By Easter, there's real talk of a post-pandemic world emerging. Time to dust the cobwebs off our bookings database and look ahead to the amazing adventures we'll be running next year. Despite the obstacles, some very determined and lovely people did actually make it to us for their 2020 holidays. The truncated season taught us many things. First and foremost, that we've been practising social distancing for years with our nature-based holidays away from the crowds. Adding face masks (not needed on hikes or in kayaks of course!), increased hygiene and other Covid-19 travel protocol from our industry body, the Adventure Travel Trade Association, made minimal difference to the actual holiday experience and saw us become Covid-safe travel pioneers in Montenegro. And it also confirmed something we knew already - spending time being active in nature really helps us all feel much better. We've started calling it nature therapy - and we've had time to research even more spectacular secret spots to indulge next year. Our kayak, wild camp & bushcraft weeks at Lake Skadar became a surprise hit

There is a special place I like to take people who are in Montenegro's mountains for the first time . One girl told me it reminds her of the end of the world. Are you familiar with a feeling when you wake up from a deep dream, and find yourself back in "reality"? For a few moments your back doesn't hurt, you cannot remember that your to-do list exists, and part of you is still there, in the warmth of a dream. That dream-like sense follows me every time I climb my favourite hiking trail on the Prokletije (in English, translated as the 'Accursed Mountains'). On the border between three countries, Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo, lies a huge mountain with a scary name. She is open to those who follow her rules and those who are seeking freedom and silence. Many people approach her amazing valleys and enjoy views of big rocky summits, but her real beauty lies when you get a little higher - above morning fog and low clouds, face to face with rugged ridges and amphitheaters shaped by the forces of nature. Today Vlado is with me. This will be his first ever real hike. After my stories, he has high expectations. We had to start early, as we expect rain in the second part of the day. The only noise you can hear is that from light wind on the top of the trees, and a few shy birds letting other forest beings know that we are here. It is not uncommon to see a bear in these forests, but I don't want to scare Vlado, so I tell him that they are on the other side. As my friend slept just a few hours last night, he keeps asking me - how much
