MEDJED (МЕДЈЕД)

This peak is said to offer one of the most beautiful views of the massif and the Black Lake.

Medjed (2 287 m), which literally means "bear", is the best known and one of the most photographed peaks in Durmitor. This peak is the most recognized because it is the closest to the town of Žabljak, the center of the region, while with its incredible background scenery it stands proudly above the beautiful Crno Jezero (Black Lake, 1,416 m), a beautiful lake shape in the form of number eight. Medjed Peak, Savin Kuk (2,313 m) and Sljeme (2,455 m, behind) form an unforgettable panorama that many associate with the famous Canadian mountain lakes.

If you look closely at the Medjed ridge, you can see Veliki Medjed (Big Bear, 2 287 m) on the right side of the ridge, and Mali Medjed (Little Bear, 2 223 m) on the left side of this beautiful ridge. These two rock bears are remarkable natural sculptures.

From the summit you can see the Terzin Bogaz peak (2 303 m), the mighty Sljeme wall (2 455 m), Bandijerna (2 409 m), Milosev Tok (2 426 m), Zupci (2 309 m) and the beautiful glacial cirque of Velika Kalica valley (1 870 m).

East of the summit you will see Savin Kuk (2 313 m), Mount Sinjajevina (2 203 m) and Jezerska Povrs (Lake Plateau).
