This part of the Yugoslav railway network, built by the Austrians, ended up in Zelenika.pened in 1901 and closed down in 1968.In July 1901, a locomotive whistle announced a new era in the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska). The locomotive was from the batch BHStB IIIa5 followed by a ceremonial train equipped with the latest fashion in railway travel (comfortable railway coaches and lounge cars) carried top Austrian Railway officials.
That first whistle, miracle of technology and transport meant progress, travel and most important tourism. The route Sarajevo – Zelenika was 156 kilometers long. The tracks in the Bay were 11 kilometers long with stations in Sutorina, Igalo, Herceg Novi and Zelenika. The launch of Montenegro tourism happened in 1902 in Zelenika! First hotel on this part of the Mediterranean “On the Green Beach” (“Na zelenoj plaži”) hosted the rich and famous. All until 1968 Zelenika was the last stop for the narrow gauge railway line from Sarajevo.
Zelenika got its name by a green bush Phulera latifolia that decorated the village all the way to the beach. Located only 4 kilometers from Herceg Novi on the road to Kotor, but because of the hill Lalovina it was always detached from the nucleus Igalo-Herceg Novi-Meljine. Unfortunately, Zelenika does not have its official souvenir but it has the official story about the history of tourism.
More interesting is the fact that the first hotel open for tourists was not in Herceg Novi (largest town on the west of the Bay of Kotor, Boka Kotorska) but in Zelenika small village over the hill. The building “Room and Board on the Green Beach” (“Pansion na zelenoj plaži”), today in terrible shape, was the first hotel in Montenegro!
In 1896 Antal Mađar, the founder of Montenegro tourism came from Budapest to Zelenika. Six years later in 1902 Antal opened “Room and Board” hotel on the green beach capacity: 50 beads, 5 apartments and 3 dependencies. This was the fist capital investment on the South Adriatic coastline. When in 1905, hotel in Hvar, Croatia opened for business the hotel in Zelenika was well known as the “winter residence and sea swimming-beach”.
Just a year earlier in 1901, the narrow gouge railway from Sarajevo was finished and the last station was Zelenika. Old photographs from the beginning of the 20th century show swimmers dressed in bathing suits enjoying the beach just a few meters from the railroad.
Man with a vision Antal Mađar made an effort not only to promote his hotel but the whole area. Looking up to other tourist centers at that time and parks in Italy, Germany, Austria and Swaziland, Antal started to plan his own exotic park with imported plants. He brought to the Montenegro coast the popular palm tree Phoenix chanariensis. Care over the hotel continues his son Antal, who at this time has representatives and tourist offices in Prague and Budapest. The hotel staff came from the best schools in Marseille, Paris and New York and spoke 5 to 6 languages. He also expanded the tourist “sun and beach” offer by introducing different excursions like sailing and hiking to the mountains Orijen and Subra.
During the First and Second World War, the hotel was commandeered, and for that, changed owners and managers. Unfortunately, all the owners after the first lacked the will to care about the hotel and the brand “On the Green Beach”.
Among many that visited and stayed at this hotel, here are some names that no doubt would give good reference to any hotel even today, Montenegro king Nikola I Petrović, Serbian king Petar I Karađorđević, Bulgarian king Ferdinand I Koburg and Albanian king Ahmet Zogu.
Though, local tourist workers give effort to present Zelenika as a good tourist location it will never live up to the glory it had when the hotel “On the Green Beach” was run by the Mađar family.
Today Zelenika is mostly a customs harbor town with almost no reminder of its recent past except a small railway metal bridge with wooden sleeps used in 1968 for the last time.

I flew to Dubrovnik with my favorite geocacher and wife Milonguera ❤️
Day 1: We visited the arboretum in Trsteno, bathed in the Adriatic Sea and explored Bosnia-Herzegovina and visited Mostar with the old bridge and a bunker. At sunset we had a Greet & Meet event in Bosnia-Herzegovina just near Dubrovnik.
Day 2: We explored the old city of Dubrovnik and had another event in the evening.
Day 3: We swam to a cave, looked at Dubrovnik from the mountain and then headed to Montenegro. Because of a forest fire, we had to take a long detour via Bosnia-Herzegovina, but we had a great view of the Bay of Kotor.
Day 4: Today we wanted to take the train to the mountains, but somehow nothing was going today. So we drove to Perast in the Bay of Kotor, visited Gospa od Škrpjela and strolled along the shore in Perast. On the way back we explored a cave and found some more geocaches.
Day 5: We visited Kotor, hiked up the mountain, visited an old fort, a cave and finally onto the beach to cool off.
Day 6: As soon as we were on our way, a new geocache was published nearby and we were the first to sign the logbook. We visited Bar, the cliffs at Rafailovići, a 2000 year old olive tree and bathed at Sveti Stefan and attended an event there.
Day 7: We drove back to Dubrovnik airport. On the way we stood at the border crossing for a long time. Before we returned our rental car, we bathed at the beautiful Pasjaca beach.
Zusammen mit meiner Lieblingsgeocacherin und Frau Milonguera ❤️ bin ich nach Dubrovnik geflogen.
Tag 1: Wir besuchten das Arboretum in Trsteno, badeten in der Adria und erkundeten Bosnien-Herzegowina und besuchten Mostar mit der alten Brücke und einen Bunker. Zum Sonnenuntergang hatten wir kurz vor Dubrovnik Greet & Meet Event in Bosnien-Herzegowina.
Tag 2: Wir stürzten uns ins Gewühl von Dubrovnik und erkundeten die Altstadt. Am Abend hatten wir auch hier ein schönes Event.
Tag 3: Wir schwammen zu einer Höhle, schauten vom Berg auf Dubrovnik und machten uns dann auf den Weg nach Montenegro. Wegen eines Waldbrands mussten wir einen großen Umweg über Bosnia-Herzegovina fahren, dafür hatten wir einen tollen Blick auf die Bucht von Kotor.
Tag 4: Wir wollten mit dem Zug in die Berge fahren, aber irgendwie fuhr heute nichts. So sind wir nach Perast in der Bucht von Kotor gefahren, besuchten Gospa od Škrpjela und schlenderten noch in Perast am Ufer entlang. Auf dem Rückweg erkundeten wir eine Höhle und fanden ein paar Dosen.
Tag 5: Wir besuchten Kotor, wanderten auf den Berg, besuchten ein altes Fort, eine Höhle und endlich an den Strand zum abkühlen.
Tag 6: Kaum waren wir unterwegs, wurde ein neuer Geocache in der Nähe veröffentlicht und wir konnten uns als erstes ins Logbuch eintragen. Wir besuchten Bar, die Klippen bei Rafailovići, einen 2000 Jahre alten Olivenbaum und badeten bei Sveti Stefan und besuchten dort ein Event.
Tag 7: Wir fuhren zurück zum Flughafen von Dubrovnik. Unterwegs standen wir lange am Grenzübergang. Bevor wir unser Mietauto zurückgaben, badeten wir noch am wunderschönen Pasjaca-Strand.

Thanks for showing the location and for hiding the cache. You should come to Berlin in Germany 🇩🇪 to find a lot of interesting geocaches, visit lost places in the surrounding Brandenburg and meet nice people at many events.
I wish you a lot of fun and great adventures while searching for the next geocache!
Vielen Dank für den Cache!
