Nature and silence
The foot of the Prokletije, forest and clean mountain air. Each cabin has its own terrace and full privacy.
Grnčar, Gusinje, Montenegro
BalicEko Village
Four A-frame cabins in untouched nature, where you switch off from the everyday and reconnect with the mountains.
Far from the crowds, close to all that is worth seeing
Balić Eko Village was born from a love of this region. Set in Grnčar, right at the foot of the Prokletije, it brings together wild, almost untouched nature and modern comfort under one roof.
The days are pleasant and the nights so cool that an evening stroll calls for a warm layer. Perfect for deep sleep and true rest for two.

At the edge of one of Europe's wildest ranges
Prokletije National Park is often compared to the Dolomites and the Alps, but with far fewer visitors. The very best is within reach.
Prokletije
Montenegro's youngest national park, with over 20 peaks above 2,500 metres.
Plav Lake
The largest glacial lake in the country, perfect for kayaking and quiet walks along the shore.
Grebaja Valley
The most photogenic starting point for hikes, with the Karanfili peaks behind.
Ali Pasha's Springs
Over 25 karst springs rising from limestone, just a kilometre and a half from Gusinje.
What awaits you nearby
From multi-day treks to gentle walks by the springs. Stay a few days and discover the region.
Hiking and trekking
Peaks of the Balkans and the Via Dinarica start from this area. The Volušnica viewpoint is moderately demanding and rewards you with the view.
Waterfalls and canyons
The Grlja waterfall and canyon, with five waterfalls along the river. Descending the canyon is an adventure for the experienced.
Cycling
The Osmica route links the valley's settlements, passing Plav Lake and Ali Pasha's Springs.
Paragliding
Tandem flights from Volušnica, with an instructor and no prior experience needed.
Jeep and horseback tours
A gentle introduction to exploring the mountain, with local hosts who know every trail.
Fishing
The Lim river and surrounding waters are rich in trout, huchen and grayling. Permits are arranged locally.
The nature we protect
Prokletije is one of Europe's most valuable centres of biodiversity, home to hundreds of plant and animal species, many of which live nowhere else. Staying in a place like this is a privilege, and a responsibility.
That is why we designed Balić Eko Village to leave the smallest possible footprint: small timber cabins instead of large buildings, the surrounding forest left intact, and a pace of stay that works with nature rather than against it.
- Cabins of natural materials, settled into the existing terrain
- Discreet night lighting, so we do not disturb the wildlife
- Local, seasonal food from hosts in Plav and Gusinje
- Sorting waste and keeping single-use plastic to a minimum

Flavours of the Plav and Gusinje region
Traditional cuisine blends Oriental, Balkan and mountain influences. Homemade, seasonal and full of character, just like the region itself.

- Local cheese, kajmak and cured meats
- Blueberries and their products, the hallmark of the region
