Tour 3 in Foča

In the period from 19.05. to 05.22. 2016, the participants completed the third tour of the natural heritage sites in the territory of Foča. It was the fifth tour in the framework of the project. Supporting activity was a theater play.

30 students (15 students from both towns Foča and Žabljak) were involved in visiting natural sites, while the theatre play was seen by about two hundred students and their professors.

During the third tour of the natural heritage sites in Foča , the students visited the area “Suha” near Tjentište and natural habitats on the mountain Zelengora.

In the area “Suha” students saw some endemic plant species, but most of the attention was attracted by the plant Daphne Malyana, which can be found only in the mountains, canyons and cliffs of northern Montenegro, eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina and western Serbia.

It is always green, shrub, usually 5-10 cm tall, but it grows even up to 30 cm in cervices of limestone rocks. By its general habit it seems to have grown on vertical rocky surface. Daphne Malyana is named after Karel Maly a Bosnian botanist.
