01By the lake and indoors
Walking, play and boating at Black Lake
The walk along Black Lake follows the wooded shore, with open views toward Medjed. The educational trail has information boards and places to rest, with a children's playground on the approach to the lake. Black Lake's two basins, Veliko Jezero and Malo Jezero, are linked by a narrow strait whose appearance changes with the water level.
Boats and kayaks can be rented from the park ranger at the lake, so you can spend part of the outing rowing or paddling. Check rental availability and suitable equipment for children at the lake. Black Lake on Google Maps.
Bowling and table tennis at the Sports Center
At Zabljak Sports Center, your family can bowl on one of four lanes. The same complex has a table-tennis area, so an indoor visit can include both games. There is also a bar beside the bowling area for a break between games.
Book a time for bowling at the Sports Center and check lane availability and equipment suitable for your child. Zabljak Sports Center on Google Maps.
02Two outings in the snow
Sledding at Javorovaca
At Javorovaca, close to central Zabljak, the snowy slope is used for sledding and recreational skiing. You walk back uphill for another descent, as there is no working ski lift.
The outing depends on snow conditions and the state of the slope. Javorovaca on Google Maps.
Children's ski lessons at Savin Kuk
At Savin Kuk, you can choose an individual ski lesson or group instruction with Ski & Snowboard School Durmitor. The school also offers lessons for children up to 10 years old. The resort has a children's beginner slope.
Arrange the time, equipment and lesson format with the ski school to suit your child's experience. The outing depends on snow conditions and whether the beginner area is operating. Savin Kuk ski resort on Google Maps.

Rafting through the Tara Canyon and under the bridge

Questions about family outings in Zabljak
What can we do with children when the weather is unsuitable for outdoor activities?
You can go bowling and play table tennis indoors at the Sports Center. Book an available bowling lane and, if you are visiting with a young child, check what equipment is available and whether it suits them.
Are horse riding and rafting also options for children under six?
The one-hour horse ride selected here is not recommended for children under six. For rafting, there is no single age limit that applies at every water level: tell the operator your child's age and planned visit date so they can assess participation in the specific program.
Does the rafting marker on the map show the boarding point?
The marker shows Tara Kula Raft's base near Djurdjevica Tara Bridge. The meeting point, river transfer and boarding are arranged with the operator, and the base is not shown as the starting point of the descent.
