Mount Ostrog is a monastery and site of pilgrimage in Central Montenegro. The most interesting thing is the monastery placed at Mount Ostrog. You can take a bus to Nikšić, they run from Podgorica or from Budva via Podgorica. Tell the driver you are going to the Ostrog Monastery, he will stop in the correct place. From there, you can take a cab for around €10, you can bargain, or hike. It is 8 km of a beautiful walk. It is not difficult as there is a car road, but not recommended when it is very warm. The final part of the way are stone stairs. The monastery is not far from the rail line that links Podgorica with Nikšić. Trains are rather infrequent (5 per day, each way) so you should plan accordingly by talking into account the walking time between the station and the monastery. Official timetable is found here.
