Villages Njegusi and Ivanova Korita are already at the foot of the Lovcens highest summits.
Njegusi as a settlement is mentioned for the first time in 1453 but it was established even before that time, because shepherds from Zeta valley (where todays Podgorica lays) had their summer huts here (like on highest central Lovcen, too).
Njegusi are famous for their famous Cheese of Njegusi (njegushki sir), dried sheep meat (koshet) and Njegus ham (njegushki prshut).
The sport and manifestation tourism has certain tradition on the mountain, since every year a hill-mountain rally is organised on the road Cetinje-Ivanova korita.
NJEGUSI – Great men of the Petrovic dynasty were born in this pleasant and nice village, among those bishops Danilo and Njegos.
Today, this village is famous for producing renowned cheese à la Njegusi, ham à la Njegusi and dried mouton meat.

It has a unique taste because it is dried in the region of Njegusi, a place where the continental and coastal climates collide, and is smoked over a specific kind Montenegrin wood.
Njegusi is the area where you will be able to enjoy, together with prosciutto, the old Slavic drink -mead, and will be able to end a good dinner with, of course, a piece of njuguski cheese in oil.
After having been dried in clean mountain air that flows through the cottages for drying and smoking, and without adding anything, after a couple of months the prosciutto, "ripens" into a tasteful product of nature itself, and the recipe for making the famous Njeguski cheese and cream is handed from generation to generation.
As was often the case with Serbian states, the tribe of Njegusi found itself on the crossroads between two worlds - West and East.
Though a tribe like any other, the Njegusi, primarily out of their own tribal interests, to be sure, became the strong hub of inter-tribal interests as well.

By a narrow old road and numerous serpentines cut into the Kotors slopes you can arrive in Njegusi, a birthplace of a great writer and ruler of Montenegro Petar II Petrovic Njegos.

With this election Metropolitan throne became inheritable within the dynasty.

Two years later Guvernadur's correspondence with Austria was intercepted and Guvernadur was tried and sentenced to death for treason.
However Vladika Rade gave him amnesty but sent him in exile and burned down all property of Radonjic family on Njegusi.
