Tucked between the slopes of Bar and the Adriatic breeze, the Džidžarin Olive Grove is one of the most treasured cultural landscapes of Montenegro. With over 10,000 olive trees – some more than a millennium old – this grove represents not only agricultural tradition, but a living monument to resilience and community. These trees have been passed down through generations, cared for by local families who understood that olives were not just food, but life. Džidžarin is also home to the famous “Old Olive” – one of the oldest trees in the world, estimated to be over 2,000 years old. Still bearing fruit, it stands as a symbol of peace and longevity. Walking through this grove, you’re not just surrounded by trees – you’re stepping through centuries of stories, wisdom, and quiet perseverance.
