Waterfall Niagara

One of the most selected spots to see in Podgorica, the capital city of Montenegro, is Niagara waterfalls, part of canyon river Cijevna. These waterfalls were built 150 years ago for the needs of the mill where flour used to be milled. Today it is a tourist attraction and magnificent scene of nature, where water breaks through the stones and creating a scene for a postcard. Due to the narrow passages, large rocks and large vineyard stretches, the Niagara falls are one of the most beautiful in Montenegro. In option with Skadar Lake(option 3) the waterfalls stop is complementary so doesn't affect the price. Have fun.
