Vrmac hill is a peninsula that separates the Bays of Kotor and Tivat, and whose territory is administratively governed by both the Municipalities of Tivat and Kotor. Part of Vrmac belonging to the Municipality of Kotor is also part of protected Natural and Culturo-historical Region of Kotor inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage List. Part of Vrmac belonging to the Municipality of Tivat is defined by the Spatial and Urban plan of Tivat as a nature park. Bearing in mind the outstanding natural values and richness of tangible and intangible cultural heritage of Vrmac, this area was chosen as a pilot area for the application of knowledge gained through the project "Heritage - Driver of Development" activities. The ultimate aim was to examine models of valorization that will not be in conflict with the protection of cultural landscape of the site.
