The Saddle Valley in Durmitor National Park, Montenegro. This 320 km2 National Park was recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980 thanks to its beautiful landscapes. In addition to spectacular mountain sceneries, the 80 km long and 1,300 m deep Tara River Canyon is also found within the National Park. It is the second largest canyon in the world, just behind the Grand Canyon.
