What a wonderful National Park.  We hired a car to visit this Tentative site at the same time of visiting Old Bar and the extension of the Tentative Primeval Beech Forests extension for Montenegro.  In essence this Tentative site includes the Beech Forest Extension area as well.  I am not sure if Montenegro included the Beech Forest extension in 2018 to provide more substance to this nomination as this site has been sitting as a tentative site since 2010.  This National Park though is much more than just Beech Forest's, although we saw a substantial area of Beech Forest walking the park.

We drove from Ulcinj to reach the Park and we stayed along the Tara River just outside the Park after we visited.  The entrance to the park is via a boom gate with an entrance fee of 4 Euro per person with strict instructions that the Park closes at 8pm.  You don't need a 4wd to drive to the main carpark area near and it is bitumen until you arrive at Biogradska Gora Lake, which is central to the park.  We visited ion 1 July 2025 and to our surprise it was quite busy with finding a carpark somewhat challenging initially in the small area provided.  There were rangers present to assist with walking trail information, a small restaurant, toilet facilities and lots of picnic tables and areas for day visitors to enjoy.  You could also hire kayaks and small rowing boats to enjoy the lake from a small pier.  We choose to do a circumference walk around the lake, which was about 4klm return and a very easy walk with no significant climbing.  It was dog friendly with a number of other dogs there, including our own.  The walk took us about 3 hours of casually exploring as we went around the lake through the forested area with significant forest areas of Beechwood, maple, ash and pine trees.  The walking trail included boardwalks, bridges and raised platforms in some areas depending on the topography.  The lake was crystal clear, and you could see a variety of fish swimming in the lake.  Ducks were also prevalent.  The NP is also listed due to its variety of Fungi, and these were very present as well.  Various Information signs were along the pathway to identify areas of interest to explain.  What we did not see on the walk was a brown bear, which choose this park as a home.  It is rare to see a bear on the lake walk though due to frequent walking traffic of humans on the lake walk.  We were however lucky to see a beer in another area of Montenegro later that evening in another remote area, however that was not in the National Park and another story.

This National Park is not over commercialised at all and has some good infrastructure for visitors to explore the park with informative information about the park itself and its rich biodiversity.  It is a thumbs up from me.
