The Tourist Organization of Gusinje has completed the “Xplore Prokletije” project.
More than fifteen cultural and natural heritage sites of Gusinje and Prokletije now have their own digital story, an AI guide that answers in three languages, 3D models and routes on which heritage is discovered through missions and quizzes. Everything works through a mobile-friendly web platform – there is no app to install and no account to create. Just scan the QR code and the screen shows the story of the site, photos, the route and its location, as well as a 3D view.
Today we presented the project and our models to the pupils of the “Džafer Nikočević” primary school.
More than fifteen sites are included: the Vezir, Čekić and New mosques, the Catholic Church of St Anthony and the Orthodox Church of St George, the Clock Tower, old houses and towers, katuns and natural sites below Prokletije. Some of them used to be left out of the usual tour, and that was one of the goals: to spread visitors more widely than the few places everyone sees.
Two gamified routes have also been created under the shared slogan “Discover Prokletije”. The visit becomes a series of missions: a task, a quiz, following digital clues to the next point. The aim is for visitors to go home with more than an Instagram photo, and to reach places along the way that they would otherwise pass without noticing.
Project partners are the Municipality of Gusinje, the Gusinje Cultural Centre, Prokletije National Park, the Islamic Community of Gusinje, the Catholic and Orthodox churches and the “Gusinjska soba” ethnographic collection. The partners helped choose the sites, check the information and obtain the necessary approvals.
In Gusinje, which already tells its story of coexistence through the “Street of Faiths” tourist route, the support of the religious communities was a precondition for including mosques and churches on the platform at all.
The project was co-financed by the Ministry of Tourism of Montenegro, which provided EUR 20,000 through the 2026 public call for tourism projects, under the measure for smart and sustainable destinations.
