Overview

VISITOR (2211 m) mountain

In the central part of eastern mountains of Montenegro, between KOMOVI and PROKLETIJE ranges, above Plav town, Plavsko Jezero lake and the valley of Lim river which started from that lake, VISITOR/GOLES/ZELETIN/GREBEN mountain range is located. That beautiful range consist of the 4 mountains connected between itself - VISITOR (2211 m), GOLES (2033 m), ZELETIN (2112 m) and GREBEN (2196 m). This range is placed in front of the highest peaks of Montenegrin part of PROKLETIJE range. Some mountain writers wrote that VISITOR/GOLES/ZELETIN/GREBEN range is also a part of wider PROKLETIJE range, but i share Branislav Cerovic's opinion that this range is unique mountain range.

ZELETIN (2112 m) mountain

GOLES (2126 m) mountain

VISITOR (2211 m) mountain is the highest mountain of VISITOR/GOLES/ZELETIN/GREBEN range. Northwest of the Plavsko Jezero lake (altitude 907 m, surface 1.990.000 square meters, deepnes 9 m), Visitor rises very steeply, extending in a southwest to northeast direction for more than 12 kilometers. The largest width of this mountain facing the Plavsko Jezero lake and Dosova River is 8 km long. It belongs to the western divide of the latter mountain wreaths, on the southeastern most part of the Dinaric mountain system called Dinaric Alps.

Visitor is also well known mountain because of its beautiful Visitorsko Jezero lake (altitude 1820 m, 92 m long, 73 m wide and 4.1 m deep) which is placed on this beautiful mountain. That lake belong to the group of the highest mountain lakes of Montenegro. The lower slopes of Visitor are mostly under forest, where you can enjoy in many beautifully colours in autumn period. Its upper part is grassy and rocky, creating a wonderful mountain ridge.

GREBEN (2196 m) mountain

The neighbourhood of amazing PROKLETIJE range and beautiful Plavsko Jezero lake offer you unforgetable enjoyment in many sceneries, views and panoramas. Real knower of Visitor's beauty will recommend you to reach also the summits of neighbour Mt Greben (Velji Vrh, 2196 m) and Mt Zeletin (Goles, 2112 m), which are connected with Visitor by ridge. Why? Because from these summits you can gain a real sense of Visitor's incredible beauty, looking to it from Greben and Zeletin summits.

Vlado, samo...

Voted 10/10

dvije napomene: trebalo bi ispraviti podatak za Žuti kamen jer se on nalazi na Ljumbardskim planinama a ne u Bogicevici a cini mi se da bi se i u naslovu trebalo vidjeti da pises o Visorskoj grupi jer si ga stavio u areas i ranges a i u tekstu se govori i o Zeletinu i drugim planinama grupe. To kazem jer bi onda linkao stranicu na Visitor Group (slicno kao Maglic-Volujak-Bioc-Vlasulja Group) LP G

	Hasn't voted	Sto se tice Zutog Kamena, ne poznajem ga i nisam jos bio tamo. Ovaj podatak sam preuzeo iz knjige. Hvala ti, ispravicu ga u Ljumbardske planine. Gde se one zapravo nalaze? Iskreno, prvi put cujem za njih : ) Sto se tice trenutacnog naslova ove stranice, danas cu to ispraviti u naslov grupe ove 4 planine. Sinoc nisam imao vise snage, pisao sam do kasnijih sati iako sam jutros na poslu. Nastavicu danas i zavrsiti stranicu koja ce biti slicna kao Maglic/Volujak/Bioc/Vlasulja. To je maltene isti princip, u pitanju su 4 bliske i povezane planine.

	Voted 10/10	Tocno, problem je u tome sto se za neke logicne planinske skupine nikada nije udomacio neki zajednicki domaci naziv, vec su ih je narod nazivao samo iz svoje lokalne perspektive - pa nam je to problem. Ljumbardske su dobile naziv od llumi bardhit-bijela rijeka a smjestene su izmedju bogicevice i pecke bistrice: obuhvacaju: zuti kamen, maju nedzinat, dio koji se zaista zove ljumbardska planina a neki geomorfolozi i geolozi u njih ubrajaju i starac i zavoj (oba juzno od cakora) jer su povezani jednim izrazenim grebenom.
