ROADS LESS TRAVELLED - STORIES FROM MONTENEGRO: SINJAJEVINA
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
(Robert Frost: The Road Not Taken)
Life on the Sinjajevina Mountain has traditionally been shaped by pastoralism, with local families spending summers in seasonal settlements known as katuns, where they graze sheep, cattle, and horses across the plateau's vast pastures. 🌿
Today, Sinjajevina remains one of the largest mountain pastures in the Balkans and a symbol of Montenegro's rural traditions, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into mountain life, breathtaking scenery, and centuries-old customs that continue to endure. 🌼
