Brezna an Ethno village in Montenegro
by Ljubinka Andrijevic
The ethno village « Montenegro » is the first village of its kind in Montenegro, although for several years the country was considered to be already an Ecological State.
The village has it’s own organic gardens planted near by, and as a matter of fact one of the gardens has the name of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, as an appreciation for their visit and promotion of Montenegro. Part of the production from the gardens is sent to orphanages in Montenegro on their behalf.

The village offers many activities: cycling, rafting in the beautiful river Tara, jeep safari, photo shooting, camping, hunting… or just enjoying dinner near an open fire and watching the stars.
This Ethno village in « Montenegro », is located in the heart of Montenegro and offers a unique experience of pristine nature. It is located near the majestic canyon Komarnica (Nevidio) and near the Durmitor massif with Europe’s deepest canyon, the Tara Canyon. For thousands of years the Tara river has been sculpting and scouring its path through the soft limestone surface, resulting in one the deepest gorges of the world – in some places 1,300 m to the valley. This is the reason why the Tara Canyon is Montenegro’s second enlisted place on the Unesco list for World Heritage Sites.
