Tucked in the peace of Lake Scadar this little town stopped time. Once upon a time it was one of the most important trading centers in this region. It left behind scenery that enchants anybody that comes to this breathtaking place. Rijeka Crnojevica got its name from Ivan Crnojevic, then ruler of Montenegro, who escaping from Turkish advances moved its capital to Obod, one hill above Rijeka. Rijeka Crnojevica at that time was a gathering place of tradesmen of different religions and the spirit of tolerance was always present and neatly cared for. One of main products was dry ukljeva (endemic fish). Rich Italian traders paid plenty to bring it to their tables. Today Rijeka Crnojevica is famous for its bridge built by Prince Danilo in 1853, its mild climate for which the Petrovici family built here their winter residence, for lovely scenery that calms and makes you forget about getting back to city life. Vineyards and waterfalls will meet you at source of the River Crnojevic.
