There are over 100,000 olive trees in the Bar area, many of which have seen more than a millennium.

With 2000 birthdays under its belt, stara maslina (old olive tree) is possibly the oldest tree in continental Europe and one of the oldest of its species in the world.
A ring of white stone protects its personal space from tree-huggers and there’s a nominal charge to visit, but it can be admired nearly as well from the road. Look for the signpost on the Bar–Ulcinj road; at the end of this road, look for the stone wall slightly to the right.
