The Municipality of Kolašin is situated in the central part of the continental part of Montenegro. It stretches over an area of 897 square kilometers of the upper and middle courses of the Tara and Morača Rivers. The basins of these two rivers make two natural unities, equal by size and spatially close by and yet different, each having its own unique qualities.
The region in the basin of the Morača River is featured by the steep slope of the terrain. It is intersected by deep gorges and canyons.The upper part of this river valley stretches to the entrance in the Platija Canyon, which consists of Gornja ( i.e. Upper) Morača, at an altitude ranging between 465m and 973m, and two more expansions. The Platija Canyon is 1000 meters deep on average and the mountainous Morača’s tributaries also flow through the canyons with the banks often as high as up to 1000 meters.
The part of the Municipality of Kolašin, in the Tara River basin, is on a higher average altitude above sea level and has a number of smller valley expansions, such as Kolašinska terrace, Lipovska Valley, Trebaljevo, the Donja ( i.e. Lower) and Gornja ( i.e. Upper) tara Rivers and valleys with a number of its tributaries.

The Morača River basin is oriented to the Adriatic Sea while the Tara River basin pertains to the drainage system flowing into the Black Sea. The Crkvina saddle, situated between Morača and Kolašin monasteries., is the watershed of the two basins. On its southern side, waters flow towards the Adriatic Sea, and on its northeast side, the waters flow through the Tara, Drina, Sava and the Danube Rivers, reaching the Black Sea. The curiosity is that the waters split on the roof of a building on this saddle and flow into two different basins.
The region of Kolašin is surrounded with cliffs and mountain peaks of Sinjavina, Javorje, Semolj, Kapa Moračka, Maganik, Štavnje, Ostrvica, Komovi, Ključ, and Bjelasica Mounts, which makes it a true mountainous region rich in all the beauties and challenges offered by high mountains and a particulary diversified relief. Breathtaking canyons, glacial lakes like those in fairytales, mountain peaks exceeding 2000 meters, numerous springs, thick woods, spacious pastures, limestone plateaus – make this treasure of landscapes infinitely abundant, unforgettable and exciting always in a new way.

Beautes at hand wherever you go

Although situated among high mounts, the Kolašin region is nevertheless easily accessible and well connected by communications with its closer and wider environs. It is some hundred kilometers away from the Adriatic Sea and so, the local gorges are in a way the gates leading to the southern Adriatic for all those coming from the continental regions.
The railwayline Belgrade-Bar, a unique attraction with bridges crossing the mountains, over the breathtaking abysses, connects, this region with the system of the Balkan and European railroads. The Kolašin railway station in Dulovine is less than two kilometers away from the city center. It could not be situated any closer to the town so as not to divert from’’heavenly tracks‘‘. Namely, from Kolašin and all the way to the mala Rijeka (i.e.Small River), some 20 kilometers  before Podgorica , the train passes through the mountains and more than half of track leads through the tunnels. On the way out of the tunnels, vistas open up like the ones when the Morača River canyon is seen from an airplane.
The Adriatic highway leans on the ‘‘arteries‘‘ of the Kolašin region, the Tara and Morača River valleys. The highway connects Belgrade, Čačak, Užice, Prijepolje, Bijelo Polje and Mojkovac with the seaside, and Budva, Cetinje and Podgorica with the Montenegrin hinterland and Serbia. At all the places where the nature allows it, the Adriatic highway is connected with other local roads. In Ribarevina, the passengers join in arriving from the Lim River valley and travel from Plav, Andrijevica, Berane and Rožaje. From Kolašin, along the Tara River, towards Mateševo, leads towards Trešnjevik and Andrijevica and further on to Lijeva Rijeka(i.e. Left River). Nearby Mioska, a road branches and leads across Dragović Polje (i.e. Field) towards Šavnik.
Many old macadam roadwards lead directly from the highway to high into the sky of Morača, Rovačka, and over-the-hill villages and even to the summer pasture camps (locally called katun) in the mountains along some of them.
The nearest airport, in Podgorica, is 75 kilometers away from Kolašin.
The distance from Kolašin to Belgrade is 388 km, 148 km to Budva, 120 km to Lovćen, 90 km to Žabljak, 75 km to Berane, 50 km to Bijelo Polje, and 21 km to Mojkovac. So the great outdoors of the Kolašin region are not far away for those who appreciate beauty; you can reach them wherever you go.
