Follows Montenegro Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
With a population of just 1,723, Zabljak is a tiny mountain town that feels a world away from the coast. The highest town in the Balkans at 1,456 meters, it offers prime skiing and hiking, but also a heavy tax burden and persistent bureaucratic headaches. While the Durmitor National Park's stunning scenery draws tourists, the isolated location and lack of infrastructure make Zabljak best suited for adventurous outdoor enthusiasts seeking an authentic, off-the-grid experience.
