Goles Katun by Biogradska Gora NP – Montenegro
A full working farm, Goles Katun is equally about organic foods and a wild beauty vista looking out over Biogradska Gora National Park. It offers a spectacular sunset view with charcoal peaks in the horizon.
Families and adventure travelers will find so much to love about Goles. There are multiple day hike options. And guests will be able to watch time roll back with a slower pace of life that revolves around nature instead of a schedule. And the toilets and showers make it an easy stretch for someone that may not be ready to venture far from “civilization.”
The farm operation at Goles takes a multi-speciated approach. Besides growing vegetables, the Bulatovic family raises livestock. Fresh milk is made daily into fresh cheese. This approach means daily freshness whether it is cheese, homemade bread, etc. And, we strongly recommend you try their cicvara and pair it with fresh tomoatoes. 😉
Goles Katun by Biogradska Gora National Park offers an unforgettable experience for adventurers. The terrain is perfect for off-road adventures in a 4×4, motorcycle, mountain bike, or on foot hiking. Stay a night on a hut-to-hut adventure or stay for a number of days to take in the quiet, isolated beauty of Mount Bjelasica.

Cozy world in the clouds above the forest
We stayed two nights in Goles Katun during our 7 day’s trek around Biogradska Gora. At that time it was rainy so we stayed in- and around the lovely house with stove! The very friendly owner made sure we were cozy and warm and treated us on delicious food and lots of tea. The misty weather added to our feeling of being in another world in the clouds. Also enjoyed the curiosity of the cows that were wandering freely around the place. After our stay we walked very cautiously down the slippery trail to Biogradska Jezero through a spectacular forest, and added a beautiful walk around the lake too which should not be missed to get a good sense of how beautiful and special the rainforest in Biogradska Gora is.
