Kolašin: Household Bojić – Katun Potrk

jovann — Thu, 07 May 2026 09:14:56 +0000

The household receives guests from July 1st to August 31st.

Overnight Stay

Room 1: 3 beds
Room 2: 2 beds
Total: 5 beds
Bathroom: Shared for all rooms

Food

The household serves traditional cuisine characteristic of the Kolašin region. Guests can taste dishes such as kačamak, cicvara, lamb “under the sač,” homemade pies, proja, sour milk, as well as homemade cheese and kajmak. Homemade juices, brandy (rakija), and honey from our own production are also served.

There is no fixed menu in this rural household; traditional homemade food is prepared, the same as for the family itself. Guests only need to specify if they require vegetarian or vegan cuisine, or if they are allergic to certain ingredients.

Rural Activities

The annual work cycle on the farm begins with intensive soil preparation and vegetable planting during April and May, while June is reserved for mowing grass and collecting hay, along with constant care for the livestock. The summer months, July and August, are reserved for staying at the katuns on Sinjajevina mountain, where cheese and kajmak are traditionally prepared alongside the harvest of early fruits. Autumn brings the harvesting of apples, pears, and plums, brandy distilling, and the preparation of winter stores in September, followed by the harvesting of potatoes and corn in October as the final preparation for winter. However, certain tasks know no season, so milking cows, collecting eggs, picking medicinal herbs, and making homemade products are carried out throughout the year. All guests are welcome to join these activities according to the current season and thus experience the authentic mountain and rural lifestyle firsthand.

The Bojić family lives in the village of Plan, No. 5, and during the summer, they stay at the Potrk katun on Sinjajevina mountain. Three generations live in the household – grandmother Krstina, her daughter Sanja and son-in-law Ranko, and their three children: Nemanja, who is a primary school teacher, Aleksandar, a hospitality professional, and daughter Anđela, a pharmacist. The children stay with their parents and always help with the tasks in the rural household. They live in the countryside and are engaged in agriculture and livestock farming. Guests are always welcome and can get to know the rural way of life.

The primary activity of the Bojić family is livestock and agriculture. They raise about 20 cows, 30 chickens, and 5 pigs. They produce the widely known and branded Kolašin layered cheese (lisnati sir), kajmak, eggs, meat, and various homemade foods.

They own fields and an orchard where they grow onions, carrots, parsley, leeks, beets, raštan (collard greens), chard, cabbage, potatoes, beans, green beans, corn, peas, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. From the fruits, they have apples, pears, and plums, as well as strawberries and raspberries, which they use to make homemade juices, jams, and brandy.

They also produce honey, brandies with medicinal herbs, as well as teas picked on the mountain.

Guests can always participate in these activities themselves.

The rural household is located about 15 km from the town of Kolašin, where visitors can visit the town center, the square, churches, restaurants, and get to know the local culture. In the immediate vicinity, about 20 km away, is Lake Biograd, which is part of the national park and represents one of the most beautiful natural attractions in Montenegro.

The household is closest to the Jablanov Vrh peak (2023 m above sea level), and nearby are the peaks Veliki and Mali Gusar. Along the way, you can visit the Bistrica spring, from where locals get drinking water. The view from Ždrijelo is particularly beautiful, as is the viewpoint located about a 10-minute easy walk from the katun, offering a wonderful view of the village of Lipovo, the town of Kolašin, and the peaks of the Komovi and Bjelasica mountains.

Martinović Katun is one of the oldest Katuns in Montenegro, more than 300 years old. The eleventh great-grandfather founded the Katun. Today, this place is not used as it was in the past, but the family wants to return the old spirit of the katun, to make it as it once was. They plan to do it by introducing the gastronomic offer to the katun, with dishes made in old, traditional way. The hard-working Martinović household is made of 7 members, a grandmother, parents, a daughter, 2 sons and a daughter in-law.

The basic activity of Martinović family is upgrading the offer in the Katun. While it is active during summer months, the most important activity is collecting berries (blueberries, wild strawberries, blackberries, and so on), and wild herbs, which abound in the area. Their main products are juices, liqueurs and jams. The hosts would gladly share the work of collecting berries with their guests. They buy meat and dairy from the locals. One of the special traits of this family is playing traditional music instruments (flute and accordion), the custom passed down in the family from generation to generation. Guests who visit the Katun, will be privileged to hear the sounds of the flute of the former Montenegrin champion in playing flute, to see the collection/exhibits of double flute. The youngest son is professional accordion player.

The stay at Martinović Katun will give you a chance to experience the striking view to 3 peaks of the mountain Komovi: Vasojevićki, Ljevoriječki and Kučki, as well as the chance to climb all 3 of them. The surrounding area of the katun hosts some easier marked hiking trails. Guests can visit two smaller lakes, they are home to Triturus, an endemic species of lizard. Some authentic old-fashioned cottages used by nomads, can be seen close to the Katun, they used to take their cattle there, a long time ago, and these are a real architectural attraction. The nature park Komovi, with its wild beauty, is located in the wider area of the katun. Macadam road, 10 km long, leading from the main asphalt road to the Martinović Katun, is attractive and ideal for bikers.

Welcome to Big Grove — a traditional katun household located on the slopes of Sinjajevina mountain, surrounded by mountain pastures, forests, hiking trails, and preserved transhumant landscapes.

Big Grove is one of the first registered rural tourism households in the municipality of Kolašin and one of the pioneering examples of sustainable katun tourism in Montenegro.

The family uses this location as a traditional katun, moving here with their cattle every summer and continuing the centuries-old practice of transhumance.

This practice was officially recognized in December 2025 as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Montenegro and is expected to receive broader international recognition in the future.

The family has also been awarded as the Best Katun Household in Montenegro in 2023.

Today, Big Grove combines:

traditional mountain life
livestock farming
local gastronomy
rural tourism
preservation of katun heritage and culture

The household is run by Gordana Dulović and her family, who have become an inspiration for many other rural women and households in the region.

Big Grove is part of a living pastoral tradition that still survives on Sinjajevina mountain.

The family moves with cattle to the mountain every summer and continues producing:

traditional Kolašin layered cheese
dairy products

potatoes
vegetables

reduction of environmental impact
support to local community
protection of mountain nature
preservation of local food traditions

The family is highly self-reliant and practices circular use of resources in everyday life.

Big Grove is connected to the electricity grid, although supply is unstable due to mountain conditions.

The family:

uses LED lighting throughout the property
carefully manages energy consumption
installed solar water heating
