- Drive up to the Trešnjevik pass for the most impressive panoramic views of the Vasojevićki and Kučki Kom peaks.

Andrijevica is a town located in northeastern Montenegro, serving as the administrative center of the municipality situated within the Lim River valley. The settlement began its organized development in the mid-19th century, specifically around 1853, following the construction of a church dedicated to Archangel Michael by Andrija Vasojević. Historically, the town is recognized as the spiritual and cultural heart of the Vasojevići clan, the largest highland tribe in Montenegro, which played a pivotal role in the nation's historical defense. Geographically, Andrijevica is strategically positioned at the confluence where the Zlorečica and Perućica rivers join the Lim, surrounded by the high peaks of the Komovi, Bjelasica, and Prokletije mountain ranges. During the expansion of the Principality of Montenegro in the late 1800s, it served as a significant administrative and military hub. Today, the town maintains its traditional mountain character, focusing on developing eco-tourism and providing access to the diverse biodiversity of the surrounding protected natural areas.
