Lim, Border river between Montenegro and Serbia
The Lim is a border river between Montenegro and Serbia that flows for 219 kilometers through deep canyons with emerald-green waters and steep rock walls. Its dramatic landscape creates natural passages and scenic views along its entire course.
The name Lim comes from the Latin word 'limes' and once marked the ancient boundary between the Eastern and Western Roman Empire. This ancient border role continues today as the river separates two modern nations.
The valley serves as a meeting point where people from both sides have maintained traditional ways of life and local crafts passed down through families. These communities continue to use the river as a central part of their daily life and identity.
The easiest access points are in the valleys and small towns along the river where walking paths and viewpoints are well-established. Wear sturdy shoes as trails can be uneven and steep, especially in the canyon sections.
The river begins near Plav Lake at about 999 meters elevation and drops roughly 700 meters by the time it joins the Drina River. This steep descent over its length creates powerful currents and shapes the dramatic landscape throughout.
