The Komovi are located between the Montenegrin-Albanian Accursed Mountains range which borders them to the south and east, the Bjelasica mountain to the north, and Tara river to the west. Administratively, the Komovi mountains are divided between the municipalities of Kolašin and Andrijevica. Traditionally, the Komovi massif was the location of katuns (groups of shepherds' summer cottages) used by the Montenegrin tribes of Vasojevići and Kuči.[2]
Since 2018, the Komovi have been classified as a nature park, i.e. as a protected natural area, due to their ecological significance, and abundance of the flora and fauna. [3]
