During the Middle Ages, it served as a favored retreat and hunting ground for the Nemanji\u0107 dynasty. Later, it came under the rule of powerful feudal lords, such as the Bal\u0161i\u0107 and Brankovi\u0107 families, and gained strategic importance.<\/p>\n<p>With the arrival of the Ottomans in the late 15th century, Velika became part of the Gusinje Sanjak. Life in the village was harsh, especially during wartime. Fearing Ottoman retaliation, many residents fled their homes in 1689-1690. Stability returned in 1857, when Velika became part of Montenegro with the formation of the Velika Captaincy.<\/p>\n<p>The people of Velika showed great courage and loyalty throughout history, participating in major Balkan wars. During the Balkan Wars (1912-1913), the Veli\u010dki Battalion distinguished itself in battles near Shkodra, while in World War I, locals defended the \u010cakor Pass. The most tragic event occurred on July 28, 1944, when the Skanderbeg and Prinz Eugen divisions massacred at least 428 civilians, including women and children.<\/p>\n<p>The Velika School<\/p>\n<p>The first school in Velika was founded in 1864 under extremely difficult conditions. At the time, boys often carried rifles along with their schoolbooks. After World War II, the school was rebuilt and modernized. Hundreds of locals earned university degrees, many pursuing doctorates and contributing to the development of their community.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Velika School houses the largest rural library in Montenegro, with over 8,000 books, making it a cultural and educational center for the region. Despite its turbulent past, Velika remains a symbol of resilience, unity, and the pursuit of a better future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"1744263054073-4fee0c86-1cc0e7a2-7c86\"><button aria-controls=\"content-1744263054073-4fee0c86-1cc0e7a2-7c86\" class=\"w-tabs-section-header\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-header-h\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">\u010cAKOR GAMES<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/div><\/button><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-1744263054073-4fee0c86-1cc0e7a2-7c86\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The memorial jumping event, \u201cJumps for Remembrance,\u201d has been held since 2003 in honor of the prematurely lost lives of children from this region: Miroslav Mi\u0107a Kne\u017eevi\u0107, Julija Brudar, Olivera Maksimovi\u0107, Filip Miki\u0107, Komnen Turkovi\u0107, Boris Pra\u0161\u010devi\u0107, and Mihailo Petrovi\u0107.

The katuns (mountain, transhumant settlements) are of crucial importance to the history and tradition of this region. These summer mountain settlements have historically been home to herders and shepherds, and today they remain living monuments of culture and tradition. They are used for grazing, and for centuries, herders have moved with their flocks to these temporary settlements to preserve the village grass for the winter months.<\/p>\n<p>A visit to the Velika\u2019s katuns allows visitors to experience authentic mountain life, where you can participate in herding activities, visit traditional katun huts, and enjoy homemade food prepared from fresh ingredients. In the katuns, you can sample local products such as fresh milk, cheese, skorup (cream), kacamak (cornmeal), or pies made from wild herbs.<\/p>\n<p>These katuns, located at high altitudes, offer unforgettable views of the surrounding mountain ranges and valleys. They represent an important part of the cultural heritage of Velika, and Montenegro as a whole, as they have long been centers of mountain life and livestock tradition. A visit to the katuns is an opportunity to connect with nature and tradition of this region and experience the peace that comes with staying in these isolated, yet beautiful parts of Velika.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about katuns, services offered at katuns, and katun trails at katunroads.me.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"1744264301241-05812d84-1f24e7a2-7c86\"><button aria-controls=\"content-1744264301241-05812d84-1f24e7a2-7c86\" class=\"w-tabs-section-header\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-header-h\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">BIODIVERSITY<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/div><\/button><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-1744264301241-05812d84-1f24e7a2-7c86\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Mount \u010cakor and its surroundings, part of the Dinarides, are home to rich biodiversity. The flora includes around 2,000 vascular species, encompassing endemics and medicinal plants. Among them are edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum), protected on screes, alpine aster (Aster alpinus) with purple-yellow flower heads, and yellow gentian (Gentiana lutea), a medicinal plant with yellow flowers. Endemics such as Ko\u0161anin\u2019s houseleek (Sempervivum kosanini), Nikolina\u2019s violet (Viola orphanidis subsp. nikolai), and Pan\u010di\u0107\u2019s valerian (Valeriana pancicii) adorn rocks and meadows. Medicinal species include yarrow (Achillea millefolium), wild garlic (Allium ursinum), and blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), while forests are dominated by endemic whitebark pine (Pinus heldreichii) and Macedonian pine (Pinus peuce). Poisonous plants like deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna) with lethal berries and death cap (Amanita phalloides), the most toxic mushroom, demand caution.<\/p>\n<p>The fauna is diverse: mammals include the brown bear (Ursus arctos), a mighty forest dweller, and the wolf (Canis lupus), a forest animal. Birds such as the capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus), an endangered highland resident, Bonelli\u2019s eagle (Aquila fasciata), a canopy hunter, and hazel grouse (Tetrastes bonasia) enrich the skies, with over 180 species recorded. Reptiles like the adder (Vipera berus) and the endemic meadow viper (Vipera ursinii macrops) inhabit rocky areas, while amphibians such as the alpine salamander (Salamandra atra) with neurotoxic glands and yellow-bellied toad (Bombina variegata) with yellow spots thrive in wet zones. Fungi number around 2,500 species\u2014edible ones like porcini (Boletus edulis), chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius), and saffron milk cap (Lactarius deliciosus), but also toxic ones like Satan\u2019s bolete (Boletus satanas).<\/p>\n<p>Of Montenegro\u2019s 415 protected species, 60 are found on \u010cakor and Prokletije, including 42 on the European Red List.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"1744264627172-a56d34d1-8e2ae7a2-7c86\"><button aria-controls=\"content-1744264627172-a56d34d1-8e2ae7a2-7c86\" class=\"w-tabs-section-header\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-header-h\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">TOJA\u2019S CAVE<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/div><\/button><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-1744264627172-a56d34d1-8e2ae7a2-7c86\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Toja\u2019s Cave is located 4 km from the peak of Cakor, at an altitude of 1754 meters, making it one of the highest-altitude caves in Montenegro.<\/p>\n<p>This geologically significant and still partially unexplored cave is set within the limestone massifs of Mount Mokra. Its long corridors, underground pools, and impressive rock formations testify to the powerful natural forces that have shaped this region.<\/p>\n<p>HOW THE CAVE GOT ITS NAME<\/p>\n<p>During the Balkan Wars in 1912, the Montenegrin army was constructing a road from Sjekirica through Mokra and Vaganica to Cakor, aiming to transport two large cannons for an offensive towards Metohija. During construction, the planned route encountered a rock formation beneath which the cave was located.<\/p>\n<p>A soldier, Tomica Toja Brkovic, a member of the Velika Battalion, knew about the cave and warned engineers that blasting the rock could cause irreversible damage to this natural wonder. Initially, the engineers refused to alter the route, but after an intervention by General Radomir Vesovic, the decision was made to modify the road in order to preserve the cave.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the cave was named Toja\u2019s Cave, in honor of the soldier who fought to protect it.<br \/>\nToday, Toja\u2019s Cave remains one of Montenegro\u2019s fascinating speleological sites, with its hidden
