The winters are long and cold, summers short and cool and the autumns warmer than springs.The average annual temperature is between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius. There is snow 120 days of the year, greater than 15 centimeters, and the ski terrains, which are at higher altitudes, are covered by snow 150 days of the year and are great for skiing. Snow can be found in higher Durmitor areas all year around, and in the Kalice area, known as Debeli Namet (thick alluvium), which is 200-300 meters long, you can ski in the middle of the summer. abljak is surrounded by 23 mountain peaks of 2200 meters above sea level, 18 mountain lakes, one of them being the famous Black Lake and the Tara Canyon, which is the deepest in Europe. In 1991, in Zabljak, Montenegro was proclaimed as an ecological country, and Zabljak was chosen as its capital. abljak has a population of 3569 citizens. There are 28 settlements within the municipality, organized into 12 local communities, one being a town. However, this number is three to five times bigger if you calculate certain moments of the winter and summer season, when the owners of cottages and tourists come. Agriculture and livestock breeding along with forestry and primary wood processing, are traditional activities of the municipality s population, which nowadays sees its future in tourism and activities connected to it.

  3. NATURAL RESOURCES Forests The forests represent one of the most important resources in the municipality of Zabljak. Big surfaces of confer and deciduous forests have resulted in the development of the wood industry, especially wood processing. The total surface area of forests and forest land is 8.517ha of national forests (high economic forests 7.513ha, forests for other purposes 195ha and covered land 809ha) and 756ha of private forests (total of 9.273 ha). The primary function of the high economic forests is the production of wood and other wood products and in the forests for other purposes recreational functions that are protected. The forests are divided into three management units: Tepacke sume , Gornji Saranci , and Donji Saranci .

  4. NATURAL RESOURCES Mineral resources Mineral resources that can be found on the territory of the municipality of Zabljak are: gravel, sand and rock. Keeping in mind that the municipality is of glacial origin and that there is an abundance of these raw materials, they are most certainly signifi cant natural resources. The exploitation is done in two quarries: Njegovudja and Razano Polje. Existing raw materials have proven to be good construction material. Until now, only experimental concessions have been allowed.

  5. NATURAL RESOURCES Land Land is one of the major factors in agricultural production in this area. Great agricultural surfaces provide the opportunity for agricultural development, livestock breeding and farming. The development of agriculture has stagnated lately because only elderly households are engaged in agriculture and also because of poor marketing and low prices. In theory, organic production has shown itself as economically feasible, both in farming and livestock breeding. There are already some entrepreneurs who have certificates for organic production. Agricultural land is mostly made up of grasslands and field. There is also a smaller surface of agricultural land that is made up of arable land and gardens.
