Veliki kabao (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Велики кабао, pronounced [velikiː kǎbaɔ], also known as Zubački kabao or simply Mount Orjen) is a mountain peak in Montenegro. At 1,894 m, it is the highest summit of the Orjen range in the Dinaric Alps. It is also the highest peak of the eastern Adriatic.

Marked trail to Zubački kabao from the Orjen Saddle is the oldest mountaineering trail in Montenegro. It was constructed during the 1880s by the Austro-Hungarian army led by general Varešanin, in preparation for the visit of Prince Rudolf who made the ascent to the peak in 1886.[1]

From Veliki kabao views spread out before one of bleached white limestone crags of the surrounding Dinaric ranges, the Bay of Kotor and the Adriatic coast, and inland as far as Durmitor, while to the south-east lies the Skadar lake and the mountains of Albania.
