Our 2 Week Montenegro Road Trip Itinerary

For one of the smallest countries in Europe, Montenegro has everything: inviting beaches, breath-taking mountains and beautiful old towns. This small country in the Balkans completely blew us away and we experienced some of the best scenery of all of our time travelling Europe. If you haven’t already, read our blog with our top 5 travel locations in Montenegro for unmissable destinations!

When to Visit Montenegro

We did this Montenegro road trip in September to October and it was perfect timing. Though we did have some rainy days, we also still enjoyed a lot of sunshine and got to experience the colourful change of seasons from summer to autumn. 

Driving in Montenegro 

We did this road trip in our self-converted campervan which meant we didn’t need to rely on public transport or hire a car. We would really recommend hiring a car if you aren’t travelling in your own vehicle, because Montenegro is such a small country you can easily experience both beaches and mountains in one trip if you have your own car and really see all the country has to offer. 

Itinerary Overview

While we spent a little over 2 weeks in Montenegro (18 days), some of our time was spent lounging as we had been travelling long-term and we also spent some days avoiding the rain. We think you could fit everything in in 2 weeks but if you have more time, you can explore at a more leisurely pace. 

As we entered Montenegro from Dubrovnik, Croatia, we first spent some time exploring the coast and the Bay of Kotor. We loved how we could see similarities between Montenegro and Croatia but they definitely felt like their own places. If you’re flying into Podgorica, then it would be easy to change the order of this itinerary around and make it a round trip, we did it in this order because we were making our way into Albania afterwards.

Our itinerary

Day 1-3: Bay of Kotor 

Day 4: Budva

Day 5: Sveti Stefan and Petrovac

Day 6: Lake Skadar National Park 

Day 7: Niagara Falls

Day 8-9: Durmitor National Park

Day 10: Durdevica Tara River Bridge

Day 11: Biogradska Gora National Park 

Day 12: Lake Plav

Day 13-14: Prokletije National Park

Bay of Kotor

There are many lovely old town’s to explore around the bay of Kotor. We started off in Herceg Novi as we had some errands to run; figuring out how to register with the police and to buy a Montenegrin sim card. After exploring the town, enjoying a beer and finding the best sim card deal ever (thanks M:tel) we spent the night at a campsite and enjoyed a hot shower.

Perast, is also a quaint town, known as one of the loveliest around the Bay of Kotor. You can take a boat trip to Škrpjela (Our Lady of the Rocks) which is the only artificial island in the Adriatic and is topped with a chapel. We chose to just admire the island from the shore with an ice cream. Perast has a really laidback feel and we enjoyed watching the world go by here.

It wouldn’t be a visit to the Bay of Kotor without visiting the famous Kotor Old town. Cobbled streets lined with souvenir and ice cream shops, the beautiful Kotor fortress looming above and hundreds of adorable cats and kittens settled around the town. Kotor was a really lovely town to explore but we could imagine it being very busy on days when the cruise ships are there. 

We would say that you could probably drive around the Bay of Kotor and stop anywhere to take in the amazing views!

A much bigger town to visit further down the coast was Budva. This was definitely more lively and even staying outside of the town by the old fort we were able to hear music and singing on Saturday night and into the early hours. The old town of Budva was worth a wander and again a nice place to enjoy a beer and people watch. We also spent the afternoon at the beautiful but busy (and quite overpriced if you want to buy anything) Mogrin beach. The old fort is a great place to visit, while there is not much left to see of the actual fort, you can get a great view of Budva old town and Sveti Nikola Island.

Sveti Stefan and Petrovac

Sveti Stefan was a pretty quick stop for us, it felt like one of those places that looks good in photos and on Instagram but we didn’t feel like there was a lot to do there. You can visit the beach, but it’s not actually possible to visit the island of Sveti Stefan, which is now a luxury hotel. It is worth driving up to the church above Sveti Stefan which has amazing panoramic views along the coast and a cool perspective of the island. If you’re a cat lover, Montenegro is your place, they seemed to be everywhere, including this viewpoint!

Petrovac wasn’t somewhere we had on our list when we were planning our route around Montenegro. However, after struggling to find a place to spend the night in Sveti Stefan, we found ourselves at this abandoned hotel in Petrovac. The weather was stormy whilst we were here so the sea was too rough for a swim, but even on a grey day the sea was glistening blue and we were gutted we couldn’t get in. The beach here is called Perazica Do Beach and there is a beach bar here, so if you want somewhere a bit more off the beaten track, this is worth a visit. The abandoned hotel is also a really unique place to explore. Check out our blog on top 5 travel locations in Montenegro for more information.

Lake Skadar National Park

Our first stop after the coast was Lake Skadar National Park. While here, we had to visit the Pavlova Strana viewpoint overlooking a bend in the Crnojevic River. The scenery and the lush green surroundings here almost didn’t look like they belonged in Europe! With the dark rain clouds rolling in, the view here looked even more dramatic. Due to the weather not being the best at this point of our road trip, we spent our time driving around the scenic roads and getting out every now and then to fly the drone and capture the view. It is also possible to take a boat ride or hire a rowing boat to explore the lake and watch the wildlife. 

Niagara Falls

No, we’re not getting confused with Canada! There is also a waterfall in Montenegro called Niagara Falls, maybe not quite as impressive as THE Niagara Falls, but it was still a pretty powerful waterfall and was in full force after some rainy weather. We must say, as we were driving there, it felt like it was in a pretty random place but it is not too far from Podgorica or Lake Skadar National Park, so it’s worth a visit if you’re nearby, and you might even be able to find somewhere for a dip along the river.

You might notice that we don’t have Podgorica on our itinerary, we’re not big city people and though we do like to explore a capital city here and there, we weren’t really in the mood and it was a rainy day when we were passing, so we decided to give it a miss this time.

Durmitor National Park 

Next up, Durmitor National Park, arguably one of the most famous places in Montenegro. Unfortunately, we had some pretty miserable weather while we were here which did mean we didn’t get out on as many big hikes as we had intended too, but we still got to appreciate the beauty of this corner of Montenegro between the rain clouds. There are many beautiful lakes to walk to here including Crno Jezero (the Black Lake), Zmijnje Jezero and Jablan Jezero. Had the weather been better, we would have loved to hike Bototov Kuk (the tallest peak in Montenegro) and also drive the Sedlo Pass, but we will just have to go back one day to tick these off our list!

Durdevica Tara River Bridge

This is an impressive bridge that crosses the Tara River. You can walk across the bridge and have stunning views of the meandering river. There are also several zipwires across the river, one for the adrenaline junkies, or if you’re feeling brave. This does make it difficult to get a nice photo of the bridge as it seems from every angle there is a zip wire cutting across the photo but alas.

Biogradksa Gora National Park 

In our attempt to visit as many National Parks as possible, we headed to Biogradska Gora where we had a lovely walk around the picturesque lake here and ticked off our 3rd National Park. On a warmer day, it would be a perfect place to hire a rowing boat and enjoy the lake from on the water. We paid €3 per person to enter this National Park.

We spent a rainy day next to Lake Plav, to be honest the water in the lake didn’t look that inviting but it could have been because of the previous days of stormy weather. After our rainy days, we said to each other we really hoped we would get to visit somewhere with the autumn colours in full swing. Waking up to a morning at Lake Plav with endless blue skies above us and clusters of orange trees on the mountains around us, things were looking up and we were excited to get into the mountains.

Prokletije National Park 

The real star of the show and our time in Montenegro was Prokletije National Park. I’m sure anyone who follows us on Instagram will be sick of us banging on about this place. However, it was the best hidden gem we have visited on this trip. We had never heard anything about this place and we couldn’t understand why. It is a bit more out of the way, very close to the border with Albania, but if you have the time, you can’t miss out this part of Montenegro. Our time in Prokeltije National Park couldn’t have been more perfectly timed with the golden autumn colours and perfect clear blue skies.

There are two valleys here; Ropojana Valley and Grebaje Valley. Ropojana valley has some famous waterfalls and a beautiful clear spring that you can hike to. There is also a restaurant where you can enjoy a drink with impeccable views of the mountains. In Grebaje valley we did one of our favourite hikes to date to Volusnica Mountain, the autumn colours, the views in every direction, wow this hike was something else. 

We hope that our Montenegro route is a source of inspiration for your travels. Have you ever been to Montenegro? Let us know your favourite spot there in the comments!

5 Beautiful Croatian Towns To Add To Your Bucket List

Montenegro top 5 travel locations.

Camping in Montenegro

Montenegro is still considered a real insider tip by nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The mixture of picturesque bays, lonely beaches and lakes, rugged mountains with imposing peaks, lovely forests and wild gorges, picturesque, old villages and a diverse flora and fauna make up the incomparable charm of this small country on the Adriatic Sea. And in the middle of it all: many beautiful nature campsites as the ideal starting point for your next outdoor adventure. At best, you can go campsite hopping - here today, there tomorrow - and keep an eye out for the next stopover on Montenegro's new panoramic roads.

We present a small selection of recreational opportunities and outdoor activities, along with tips for the best campsites in Montenegro.

• Velika Plaza, NTO Montenegro

Swimming, Surfing, Sailing

Crystal-clear water, waves and the finest sand: 117 beaches on the Adriatic with a total length of 73 kilometres offer enough space for a relaxed, undisturbed sunbath or a ride on the sea with the surfboard. The longest sandy beach with a length of 13 kilometres is in Ulcinj. Kitesurfers from all over the world meet here in the summer months to dance with their kites in the brisk Maestral sea wind.

Directly on the pebble and sandy beach of the Adriatic Sea are numerous campsites in the good 3 to 4-star category, where campers from near and far are very welcome. Whether WLAN or sanitary facilities, whether shopping facilities or mobile homes for rent - there is certainly nothing lacking here. You can go kitesurfing or play beach volleyball on the beach, swim, splash around or snorkel in the sea - or meet friends and like-minded water sports enthusiasts in the shade under the pine trees.

Montenegro campsites by the sea:

Suggestion 1: Ulcinje, Autokamp Tropicana Suggestion 2: Auto Kamp Utjeha Suggestion 3: Petrovac, Camping Maslina Suggestion 4: Višnjeva, Camping / Appartement Kunjic

• St. Stefan Beach, NTO Montenegro

• St. Stefan Island, NTO Montenegro

• Porto Montenegro, NTO Montenegro

Bay of Boka

Arguably one of the most beautiful bays in the world is Boka Kotorska - the Bay of Boka, which stretches over a length of 28 kilometres. Lush Mediterranean vegetation, picturesque little villages clinging to the steep slopes of the surrounding mountains form the impressive picture of this unique region. Here, between Kotor and Tivat, campers can park their motorhomes and tents on sites under shady, ancient olive and cherry trees. The nearest yacht and sailing harbour is just a few kilometres away: there, sailing enthusiasts can rent their boat and set off for an unforgettable cruise in the bay.

Campsites Boka Bay:

Suggestion 1: Jošice, Camping Zlokovic Suggestion 2: Kotor, Autocamp Lara

Our Lady of the Rocks (Gospa od Škrpjela) is one of two small islands off the coast of Perast in the Bay of Kotor. It is an artificial island created by a bulwark of rocks and by old sunken ships loaded with stones.

The tradition of rock throwing is still alive today. Every year on 22 July, the festival called fašinada takes place, when the locals throw stones into the sea in order to increase the island's surface area.

The two islands, as well as the entire Boka Bay, have been UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage Sites since 1979.

• Boka Bay, NTO Montenegro

• Lady of the Rocks, Bay of Boka, NTO Montenegro

Hiking in the National Parks

A hike through the Lovcen National Park is part of the must-do programme of any trip to Montenegro. The special thing about this scenic region is its diversity: a unique mixture of cultural-historical monuments, an overwhelming variety of plants and then, of course, breathtaking mountain landscapes. There are numerous well-signposted trails for hikers - from easy to challenging. On request, hiking guides lead you through the park on secluded paths, accompany those who are afraid of heights to viewing platforms and impart interesting facts about the region.

Here in the Lovcen National Park there are a number of smaller campsites and cottage villages such as Njegusi or Ivanova Korita - some of them have a good infrastructure, and shopping and catering facilities are available on site during the summer months. Here guests can experience unspoilt nature in XXL.

Suggestion for Camping in the Lovcen NP - Njegusi

The Biogradska Gora National Park in the centre of Montenegro's Bjelasica mountain range is the smallest of Montenegro's five national parks, but nevertheless, or perhaps precisely because of this, a very special one. In addition to an incredible biodiversity and quiet glacial lakes, nature lovers will find one of the last "real" primeval forests in Europe here. Around the peaks of Zekova Glava and Crna Glava at an altitude of a good 2,000 metres, experienced hikers will find an extensive network of trails - and poignant tranquillity.

For camping enthusiasts who like it rural and authentic, there is hardly anything more beautiful than spending the night in the middle of the untouched wilderness. Surrounded by dark forests and high peaks, campers can choose from smaller "nature sites" here in the national park - the facilities are somewhat simpler, but the nature experience is all the greater for it: the next cool mountain lake for refreshment is not far away, the next mountain for the next climb is within reach.

Campsites Biogradska Gora National Park:

Suggestion 1: Kolasin, Camp Lipovo Suggestion 2: Kamp Wesko

• Lake Bukumirsko, Montenegro, NTO Montenegro

Hiking in Skadar National Park

Although Lake Skadar grows to about the size of Lake Garda in spring after the winter melt, making it the second largest lake in southern Europe, the freshwater reservoir is still completely unknown to many: With 270 bird species, Lake Skadar is one of the largest bird sanctuaries in Europe: some of Europe's last pelicans, but also storks, herons, hawks and eagles have found a protected refuge here. It is a fantastically beautiful, fairytale-like area, surrounded by steep mountains, island monasteries, clear turquoise waters and a huge carpet of floating water lilies. Anyone who takes a hike along one of the nine marked trails through the Skadarsko Jezero National Park will come back enchanted and will certainly agree that the lake must have been created from the tears of a fairy, and not just according to legend.

There is a charge for visiting the national parks: day tickets from 2 euros as well as maps and detailed information material are available at the respective visitor centres.

Campsites Lake Skadar:

Suggestion 1: Virpazar, Camp Podkraj Suggestion 2: Golubovci, Plavnica Camping Resort Marković

Rafting and Canoeing

Montenegro is the Eldorado of water sports enthusiasts who are drawn to wild rivers for their next rafting and canoeing adventure. In addition to the absolute dream river of the rafting community, the 140-kilometre-long River Tara, there are numerous other smaller rivers in Montenegro that provide special thrills with their water whirlpools and rapids.

Along the Tara, there are some beautifully situated, smaller campsites that are ideal for a maximum two-day stay. For some of them, the motto is: "Less is more" - here, nature and the outdoor experience are in the foreground, the infrastructure is functional and limited to the bare essentials. But you don't have to limit yourself. And the river? It's only a few dinghy lengths away and calls for the next white-water adventure.

Campsites Tara Gorge:

Suggestion 1: Pljevlja, Camp Kljajevića Luka Suggestion 2: Autocamp next to the P4 Suggestion 3: Gornja Dobrilovina, Eko-oaza Camping

If you want to try out the camping feeling first, you can of course do so at selected sites along the Tara: here, permanently installed mobile homes are available and invite you to comfort camping. Of course, food and drink are also provided on site and, with a bit of luck, you can catch your own fish for the evening barbecue in the river.

With a mountain bike piggybacking on the camper van, Montenegro is an ideal place to discover: At the campsite of your choice, you park your camper and hop on your bike: The mountainous region around the small town of Savnik on the edge of the Durmitor National Park is green wherever the eye can see. From here, mountain bikers can set out on a four-hour tour to Zabljak or a longer and more demanding tour to Niksic, a good 56 kilometres away.

Mountain bikers can choose from two campsites in this charming region of northern Montenegro. If you don't want to camp, but prefer a solid roof over your head, no problem: bungalows or cabins are also available for rent. Bicycles are also available - you can rent one spontaneously, as the mood takes you, and set off on a tour of discovery through the beautiful natural landscape. And after the excursion? A refreshing swim in one of the surrounding, cool mountain lakes is tempting.

Little Adventures

In the immediate vicinity of Cetinje, under the Belveder panoramic point, which offers a beautiful view of the plain around Lake Skadar, is the Lipa Cave , a wonderful gallery of underground halls. The total length of the explored passages is about 2,500 metres, with several richly decorated halls and interesting galleries. Underground water streams, lakes and springs enhance its natural beauties and make it even more charming and attractive. Lipa Cave is the first and only cave in Montenegro made accessible for tourist visits. It displays a great variety of karst features and offers visitors a unique experience of the underground world. It is 33 km from Budva, 35 km from Podgorica and 5 km from Cetinje, west of Lovcen National Park.

Nevidio Canyon is synonymous with canyoning in Montenegro par excellence. A canyon that needs no comparison and a unique tourist attraction. Nevidio Canyon is part of the Mala Komarnica, a river that rises at the foot of the southern Durmitor Mountains. Its name Nevidio or Neviđbog means "place you cannot see". Here the name says it all, because the river disappears quite suddenly in the village of Komarnica, 10 km from Šavnik, in an extremely narrow canyon, making itself 'invisible'. The canyon is only 1700 metres long, but those who cross it will have the impression that it is much longer. The difference in altitude is about 125 metres, and the walk takes about 4-5 hours. Not far from the canyon entrance is the 'point of no return', a jump into a pool from which there is only one direction to go. Turning back is impossible! The bottom of the canyon is almost always in the shade. A local guide and appropriate equipment (which can be hired) are essential here!

There are numerous other rivers where you can try canyoning.

These Wild Journeys

Everything you need to know about VanLife in Montenegro

Planning a road trip to the Balkans, and curious to know whether you should visit Montenegro? Are you wondering what Vanlife in Montenegro is like? Or do you want to find out why we think the best way to travel around Montenegro is by campervan? Well, look no further.

This compact country packs more than a punch when it comes to epic park-ups, views, cultural towns, cities and incredible views.

In this blog we want to share our experiences with you – giving you the topline info you need to know before you travel, as well as share some ideas of things to see and do here. Plus, some extra info if you are like us, vegans on the road. Read below for more info! And for an idea of things to do and see – check it out here

Campervan travel in Montenegro – VanLife in Montenegro:

Wild/Free camping Wild / Free camping is not, officially, allowed in Montenegro. But plenty of people, including experts at Caravanya vouch that “if you behave inconspicuously and stay away from tourist areas and beaches, the authorities and residents will usually turn a blind eye.”

We stayed on a number of free parking spots, found through Park4Night, and we did not experience any issues whatsoever. As usual, it’s easier to stay in scenic spots in the low or shoulder season, than it would be in the peak season. In the week and a bit that we visited here, we did a mixture of free/wild camping. It felt like it was tolerated, provided you didn’t overstay your welcome and remained discreet. And of course, you spend your money in the local area!

Campsites Montenegro is slowly becoming a popular place to visit in a campervan, with campsites and businesses catering to the growing number of campers and campervans. While we free camped for the majority of our visit, campsites weren’t too badly priced; in fact our favourite spot of the whole week was AutoKamp Dule, which was 15 euros, but had THIS view of the Bay of Kotor!

Other spots we stayed on included a city view of Ulcinj (in peak season a man in the car park charges 5 Euros, we stayed for free!), a beach spot by Petrovac, as well as an empty car park close to Lovcen National Park. All are available on Park4Night – if you drop us a DM on Instagram, we can share them with you! What are the roads like?

Fine to drive, and beyond scenic. In fact, Montenegro has a number of Scenic Highways that cross up and down the country, and are clearly signposted, and are a trip highlight in and of themselves! The roads are in really good condition, and the driving is a lot more chilled out than we experienced in Albania, the country we were previously in . Where can I get water?

We used campsites to fill up safe drinking water. If you’re staying the night, this is included, but we also paid 5 euros to fill up, and to also empty our black and grey water half way through our trip via a campsite we were passing by.

What about gas?

We used a refillable LPG system, and pretty much all petrol stations supplied LPG. 

What do I need to enter the country with my own vehicle?

We crossed the border twice into Montenegro, and both times they asked for our V5 registration document. So make sure you have that to hand!

We contacted our insurance provider before we visited and we were told that we were not covered to drive in Montenegro under our current policy. After a bit of confusion at the gates with border insurance – who told us we were fine and didn’t need insurance as the country is part of the greencard membership in Europe, we were able to buy insurance for our vehicle for 15 euros for 15 days! We are not 100% on whether we needed this insurance, or indeed, if it actually covered us, so please don’t take our word for it. Speak with your insurer first!

TRIP PLANNING

When should you go?

Montenegro, like many of its Balkan neighbour’s experiences variable seasons; with snow up high in the mountains in winter, but sunny, warm summers. We visited in April and the weather was just about warming up enough to enjoy days at the beach; but, with a few cold spells there was still snow up on the mountains. (including our hike up to Lovcen!) This provided epic backdrops for our photos, but, it also meant that we didn’t visit some places like Durmitor National Park and the Dinaric Alps, because the conditions were still snowy and meant we were unable to do any hikes. Like most places in Europe in Summer, we have heard it does get busy, with tour groups and the cruise ship crowd descending on popular spots like Kotor. We will always suggest shoulder season as the best time to visit, as the weather is fair, and it’s easier to travel and wild-camp in our van.

Is it safe?

Yes! Montenegro is just like any country in Europe, safe to visit and safe to travel. While we can only speak from our own perspective, we never felt unsafe visiting this country. 

As you would in even your own country, if you keep your wits about you, and treat everyone with respect, there shouldn’t be a problem.

Common sense prevails – for example, park in secure parking lots, don’t leave valuables on show when leaving your vehicle unattended.

What language(s) do they speak?

Montenegrin is their main language, but we never struggled to find someone who couldn’t speak English, or at least understand a bit of charades. 

What is the internet situation like?

Super fast, and very cheap. While our UK Sim didn’t include roaming into Montengero, we were able to buy a Montenegrin SIM for 500gb for 5 Euros from a mobile phone shop (you will spot the advertisements in most major towns and cities), which is insanely good value! What about money?

We found Montenegro to be a very cheap country to travel, with some of the cheapest diesel prices (at the time of writing) in Europe, plus reasonably priced food in restaurants and shops.

The good news about Montenegro if you’re traveling here from another European country is that their currency, despite not yet being a member of the EU, is in Euros! In the cities card payments are all good, but for campsites and markets, cash is still king. We’d recommend you get yourself a card like Monzo, Starling or Revolut to keep costs down, and get a decent exchange rate when withdrawing cash.

The Vegan Question – how easy is it being vegan or plant-based in Montenegro?

After being in Albania and struggling a little, we were pleasantly surprised at the amount of options in Montenegro. Not only are their vegan restaurants in the main cities and tourist towns (check out HappyCow!), but we also managed to find tofu and pesto (the staple of our vegan lives), in an organic health food shop in Kotor! Details below. Vegan Eats and Vegan treats: – Natures Way Organic Shop, Kotor – Ombra Cafe and Lounge Bar (Vegan Pizza in Kotor!)

Much like in Albania, Montenegro also had a number of fresh fruit and veg shops with lots of plastic free veg to pick-up!

MY 7 FAVORITE CAMPSITES IN MONTENEGRO

As camping tourism is getting more and more popular, specialized tour operators in the European Union are interested in organizing round trips for campers and caravans through the Balkans. This is also a good opportunity for Montenegro to improve its existing campsites and establish new ones, not only on the Adriatic Coast but also in the northern part of the country. Although this tourism segment is not particularly promoted by the state institutions, private initiative is giving fresh impetus to the development of this type of traveling.

Let’s start with the coast:

Camping Safari Beach – Ulcinj

Recently we spent a weekend with my grandchildren at this campsite on Velika Plaža (Long Beach) near Ulcinj. And it was a pleasant surprise! This camping is a perfect place for families with children, as it is located next to the large sandy beach. For those who prefer a shady pitch, there is place enough in the pine forest. Sanitary facilities are brand new and clean, electricity and WiFi are provided and enjoying the sunset on the terrace of the traditional restaurant is a special experience.

Camping Maslina – Buljarica

I visited this campsite in Buljarica (2 km from Petrovac) a few weeks ago. Camper groups like this camping because of its size and its ideal position in a peaceful area among old olive trees. Vegetation is abundant, sanitary facilities are always clean, electricity and WiFi are available. Local bars and restaurants can be found along the beach (300 m).

Auto Camp Naluka – Morinj

Info: www.naluka.montenegro.com

Camping Zlokovic – Bijela

This well-known campsite in Bijela (Bay of Kotor) has direct access to the beach and offers a relaxed stay among shady olive trees. Sanitary facilities are excellent, the hospitable owner and his family make you feel at home and the scenery is magnificent. Close to a good local restaurant. Electricity and WiFi available.

     5.   Etno-selo Vuković – Camping Savardak – Tomaševo/Bijelo Polje

This complex in Tomaševo is one of the campsites we often visit, both with camper groups and individually. It is located about 15 km from Bijelo Polje in the mountains and has a swimming pool and a nice traditional restaurant. Its magnificent position and attractive “ethno” appearance are unique in North Montenegro. The campsite offers many possibilities for active camper tourists: jeep excursions in the surroundings, rafting, fly-fishing, hiking and mountain biking. But it is also a great resting place where you can listen to the chirping of the birds and the murmuring of water streams around the campground. Clean sanitary facilities.

Camping Eko Oaza – Dobrilovina/Mojkovac

Eko Oaza is located in the Tara Canyon, in the green heart of Durmitor National Park. It is a quiet and picturesque place, surrounded by high mountains. Along the Tara river is a narrow path that leads to the Dobrilovina monastery (15 minutes). The owners are very helpful; they can also provide meals in the small restaurant. Good sanitary facilities and electricity (partly provided in wooden cabins).

Info : Eko Oaza – phone +382/69 444 590

Camp Kod Boće – Žabljak

Info: www.kampkodboce.me

     7a. Camping Ivan Do – Žabljak.

And finally, for those outdoor fans who would like to make hiking tours in Durmitor National Park I would like to recommend this campsite, 2.5 km from Žabljak. Its position near the Black Lake makes it very popular among backpackers and active travelers, who want to explore the surrounding mountains and glacier lakes. It is located on grassy slopes, with a breathtaking view of the highest mountains of the Durmitor massif. Most guests arrive with tents, but there are also some nice pitches around the entrance for small camper vans. Sanitary facilities and electricity are provided.

Info: www.autocamp-ivando.com/en/

I am sure that the responsible persons in Montenegro will get aware of the fact that camping tourism has a great future. A big part of Croatia’s revenues in tourism comes from campsites. And when I was in Lake Shkodra Resort (just on the other side of the Montenegrin border at Božaj) two weeks ago, I found it overcrowded… Can you imagine that all 120 pitches of this large campground near Shkodra were occupied, not only by camper and caravan groups but also by individual tourists from all parts of Europe?

Montenegro is like a ‘tardis’. Our Montenegro tours open the door into one of Europe’s smallest countries, just the size of Northern Ireland, where you will discover a world of five national parks, a plethora of peaks, with over sixty of them hitting the heights of over 1,800m, lakelands and nearly 300km of coast.  That’s why, for example, Montenegro hiking can take you from the likes of Lovćen National Park in the morning down to the coast at Kotor in the afternoon. It’s also a bit like travelling through different worlds on our Montenegro cycling holidays, whirring off to Skadar National Park in the morning, which boasts the biggest lake in the Balkans, and landing in Lovćen National Park in the afternoon. Montenegro tours are regenerative and exciting, and for natural adventurers, just what the doctor ordered.

Durmitor National Park

Durmitor is the doyenne of natural drama in Montenegro, a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site in the north of the country with no less than 48 limestone peaks over 4,800m. This is a walking wonderland, and one that you can climb up to the heights of Previja Pass (2,145m) and Skrka Pass (2,112m), or go for a gentler circular trek of three Durmitor Lakes – Barno, Zminje and Crno. Durmitor is also home to an iconic avenue of adventure, Tara Canyon, which cuts through the park and perfect for white water rafting.

Lovćen National Park

One of our favourite Montenegro hiking havens, a highlight of this park is trekking up to the top of Jezerski Vrh (1,657m) to visit the mausoleum of the much beloved leader and great thinker, Njegos who died in 1851. This is a bit of a sacred pilgrimage for Montenegrins, as Njegos was considered an ambassador for peace and reconciliation of his time. The gateway town is Cetinje, the former capital where the last King Nikola’s palace is now a museum and its 15th century monastery, galleries and small boutiques make for a lovely wander. You can also hike from Lovćen to the coast at Kotor on the same day.

Lake Skadar National Park 

This national park is both green and blue, with its eponymous lake covering 400km², shared with Albania and forming a natural border. Tucked into the Prokletije Mountains, their peaks reflected on the calm and biodiverse waters, our Montenegro cycling fans love the Lake Skadar route, with exquisite views and exciting descents. Lake Skadar is still very much off the tourist trail, unlike some of Europe’s other great lakelands, and this one is most definitely great. Virpizar is Lake Skadar’s main town and, although tiny, it is the centre of the country’s wine region where Vranac and Kratosije are the ones to look out for. 

Kotor 

This UNESCO town is protected and revered for its ancient architecture but also its fine natural environs, perched on a fjord-like inlet that leads out into the Bay of Kotor. There are superb views of the bay from the hilltop fortress of St. John, but you can also soak up its medieval and Venetian vibes in the old walled town of Stari Grad. Kotor is a particular favourite on our Montenegro cycling holidays, as you can time an exciting descent from Lovćen National Park down to Kotor in one day, with the best views ever. 

Biogradska Gora National Park 

This national park, in the Bjelasica mountain range, is celebrated for its rich, primaeval forests, with trees dating back four or five hundred years. Biogradska Lake is an oasis in the middle of all this green space, with its river of the same name creating a verdant waterway straight through it. There are numerous hiking trails through the beech, fir, juniper and elm trees such as up to Lica Mountain (1,893m), or alongside the Bjelasica mountain peaks of Zekova (2,117m) and Crna Glava (2,139m).

• The hard won peaceful relationships between Balkan countries should be celebrated by visiting hikers and cyclists alike. The Peaks of the Balkans is a long-distance hiking trail traversing the Western Balkans, on a circuit that encompasses the heritage highlights (and highlands) of Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro. Depending on the heights that you want to hit, there are options to ascend Mt. Trekufiri, Hajla, Taljanka and Arapi, all promising the most peaceful panoramas. 
• Hike a section of another long-distance trail, the Via Dinarica , a network of long-distance walking trails that not only takes you through Montenegro’s Dinaric Alps but also the mountain magnificence of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Serbia, Albania and North Macedonia. The Bosnia-Herzegovina to Montenegro section leads you through a colossal combo of Sutjeska and Durmitor National Parks, including some white water rafting along Montenegro’s Tara Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in Europe. 
• Pack a good picnic for your hike or cycle and seek out the local providers for a feast of fine foods. Cheese is key to the Montenegrin diet, with village varieties at every turn of the road, it would seem, but Pljevaljski, Njeguski, Lisnati and Prljo are the most famous. Pršut is the local version of prosciutto ham, and the place to buy this is the former royal palace town of Cetinje, where Njegusi pršut is king. Lamb that is slow-cooked in milk, over a fire, is a northern Montenegrin speciality, and cevapi sausages will fill your boots on any trek. In short, Montenegrins will never let you go hungry with their warming mountain fare, and local wines to accompany it.
• Montenegro tourism went a bit crazy after independence in 2006, with concrete enclaves and clubbing hitting the shores of Budva. Our Montenegro tours avoid these spots, however we are keen to prove to the tourist board that nature-based adventures are worthy of attention on their part. So, please take plenty of photos and post on social media, #Montenegro, saying how much you love their pristine landscapes, and how important it is to preserve them . Tourist boards sometimes think that visitor numbers are what it’s all about, whereas we believe that visitors’ voices really make a difference. 
• H2O in Montenegro is good to go. With rich sources of fresh mountain spring water everywhere, there is no need to buy bottled water at all, so remember to pack your reusable bottle or hydration bladder pack. 
• Respect Montenegrins traditional culture, especially in rural areas, and cover your shoulders and knees when visiting Orthodox churches and other religious sites.
• Our Montenegro tours run between April and October, and one of them, a walking holiday in the south of the country as late as November. It brings huge sustainable benefits to travel out of season, as our Montenegro walking and cycling holidays focus on small rural areas, and by supporting them out of the traditional season can make a vast difference to several families. 
• Bring your binoculars to keep an eye out for birdlife, particularly in Lake Skadar National Park, which is an Important Bird Area, and home to avian wonders such as the greater flamingo, Kentish plover, rare Dalmatian pelican and the pygmy cormorant.

"Montenegro is little country packed with hidden gems; a day spent exploring the natural beauty of the mountainous coastline or the delightful old cities is never disappointing"

Evana, Travel Director

Explore the labyrinthine lanes and small squares of Budva

Budva is a gorgeous seaside town and a Montenegro must see, with medieval history dating back more than 2,500 years. We’ll go beyond the fortress walls surrounding the town and delve into the maze of alleyways and squares. From ancient churches to modern boutiques, there are endless treasures to find.

Soak up Montenegro's natural beauty

Montenegro is an incredibly beautiful country, and the natural scenery is the highlight of any Montenegro travel experience. We’ll take it all in, from the turquoise waters and white sands on the Adriatic coastline, to the glacial lakes and forested mountains of Durmitor National Park.

Climb Kotor's Castle of San Giovanni

The looming walls of Kotor’s Castle of San Giovanni offer phenomenal views over the Bay of Kotor and the region. We’ll climb 1,350 stairs to get to the top of the medieval fortress, and with plenty of history and incredible lookouts, it’s one of the most rewarding things to do in Montenegro.

Relax on Budva's stunning beaches

The beaches of Budva are one of the most beloved Montenegro tourist attractions. There are 17 beaches across a 38 kilometre shoreline, with dazzling azure waters lining the golden sands. Our Local Specialists will show you the best beaches where you can soak up the sun.

Visit the Podmaine Monastery

Located near the coastal town of Budva, Podmaine Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox monastery, with a complex of two churches dating back to the 15th century. It was built by a noble family, with pink and cream stone and painted frescoes inside, including a Judgement Day scene.

Our top 5 things to do in Montenegro

We’ll show you the best of Montenegro, from the sandy beaches and ancient walls of Budva to the incredible natural beauty across the country.

Dvorac Petrovića

Built in 1891, Dvorac Petrovića was the winter residence of King Nikola I, the last king of Montenegro. Today, it’s an excellent gallery, with around 1,500 contemporary art pieces from Montenegrin and international artists. You’ll also get a glimpse of the life of the king, with collections of weapons and royal decorations.

Natural History Museum of Montenegro Podgorica

Discover Montenegrin fossils, flora and fauna at the Natural History Museum of Montenegro in Podgorica. You’ll learn about the history of the planet and see the impressive collection of taxidermized animals with birds, insects, bears, wolves and the blue whale.

Duklja ruins

Located just outside Podgorica, the Duklja ruins are the site of an ancient Roman town, thought to be founded at the start of the 1st century. It was once the most important urban centre in Montenegro, and you can wander the stony remnants of towers, bastions and wall fortifications.

Best museums in Montenegro

A Montenegro holiday with Trafalgar takes you to the country’s top museums, from a former royal residence, to the site of an ancient Roman town.

Punjene paprike

Punjene paprike is a classic dish across the Balkans, and the Montenegrin version is made from courgettes or capsicum filled with minced meat, rice, tomato sauce, eggs and spices. It’s a tantalising mix of flavours and the perfect comfort food in Montenegro.

One of the most beloved dishes in the country, cufte is Montenegrin meatballs in a warm tomato sauce. Typically served with mashed potatoes, vegetables, and a sprinkling of chopped parsley, cufte is absolutely delicious.

Đuveč is one of the most traditional dishes in Montenegro’s. It’s a stew or casserole, made from meat (often veal), vegetables and rice, and served in a large bowl to let the flavours combine. Our Local Specialists will show you the best local restaurants to taste this local delicacy.

Best food in Montenegro

Our Montenegro holidays will introduce you to the best Montenegro food, from the coastal seafood to the hearty meat and potato dishes of the mountains.

What to pack for Montenegro

Montenegro is lined with heavenly beaches and golden sands. Bring a swimsuit and enjoy a swim in the dazzling Adriatic sea.

Montenegro is a famous stop for mega yachts, so bring your deck shoes if you’d like to explore the yachts of the glamorous Porto Montenegro.

You’ll need plenty of sunscreen for your Montenegro trip, especially if you plan to spend time soaking up the sun on the beautiful beaches.

Adaptor plug

In Montenegro, the power plugs and sockets are of type F, with standard European 2-pin plugs. The standard voltage is 230 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz.

With some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe, from the turquoise coastline to the mountain forests, you’ll need a camera to capture all the beauty.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and reusable toiletry bottles.

Dein Wohnmobil-Ratgeber

Montenegro mit dem Camper bereisen

Wohnmobil-Reiseberichte / 23. August 2020 by Gerfried (WoMo Guide) / Kommentar verfassen

Im Jahr 2013 wollten wir Montenegro mit dem Camper erstmals bereisen. Nach diesem Roadtrip kamen wir später noch einige Male mit dem Wohnmobil durch Montenegro. Hier unser Montenegro-Überblick.

Das Land Montenegro

Montenegro liegt südlich von Kroatien und Bosnien, westlich von Serbien und nördlich von Albanien an der Adria.

• Der Name stammt wohl aus dem Venetischen „montagna negra“, also dem schwarzen Berg/Gebirge. Dieser bedeutung entspricht auch der montenegrinische Name des Landes, Crna Gora.
• Gesprochen wird in Montenegro ein Mix aus Montenegrinisch, Serbisch, Bosnisch und Albanisch.
• Bezahlt wird in Montenegro mit dem Euro : Zwar gehört Montenegro nicht zur Währungsunion, man hat sich dennoch zur Verwendung des Euros entschlossen. Das ist für europäische Reisende sehr praktisch.

Generell ist Montenegro ein gebirgiges Land, was für uns auch den Reiz des Besuches ausmachte. Doch dazu später mehr.

Die Anreise nach Montenegro mit dem Camper

Von Dubrovnik aus ist der Weg nach Montenegro zum Beispiel nicht weit, und man kann Montenegro mit dem Camper in weniger als 1 Stunde erreichen. Auch als Tagesausflug im Kroatienurlaub bietet sich das Land daher an.

Montenegro ist generell gut erreichbar:

• Von Norden aus Kroatien oder Bosnien
• von Osten aus Serbien bzw. dem Kosovo oder
• vom Süden kommend aus Albanien .

Die Anreise nach Montenegro aus Kroatien

In Kroatien folgt man in Richtung Süden ab Dubrovnik einfach weiter der Küstenstraße Jadranska magistrala, und landet dann nach weniger als einer Stunde automatisch am Grenzübergang bei Palje Brdo. Mit dem Wohnmobil hat man hier keine Probleme, man befindet sich auf einer perfekt ausgebauten Straße.

Die Anreise nach Montenegro aus Bosnien

Aus Bosnien hat man mehrere Möglichkeiten.

• Wer nach Herceg Novi will, wird von Trebinje aus der R429 in Richtung des Grenzübergangs Sitnica folgen.
• Peilt man eher das Landesinnere oder Albanien an, wird man von Trebinje kommend wohl eher die Richtung Ilino Brdo auf der der M6 einschlagen und dann bei Nikšić landen.
• Ebenfalls nach Nikšić führt die E762 vom Grenzübergang Sćepan Polje , den man von Sarajevo aus erreicht.
• Ganz im Nordosten Montenegros schließlich findet sich der Grenzübergang Pljevlja .

In Bosnien sind die Straßenverhältnisse oft schlecht und mit dem Camper muss man etwas vorsichtiger fahren. Aber das ist alles machbar.

Die Anreise nach Montenegro aus Serbien

Die Grenze zwischen Montenegro und Serbien verläuft in etwa in Nord-Süd-Richtung, weshalb wir auch die Grenzübergänge in dieser Reihenfolge auflisten wollen:

• Bijelo Polje,

Kleinere Grenzübergänge scheinen nur von Anrainern genutzt werden zu dürfen.

Die Anreise aus dem Kosovo

Schwierig gestaltet sich die Reise von oder in den Kosovo. Abenteurer können den wohl einzigen Grenzübergang Kulla-Rozaje anpeilen. Dabei muss man aber beachten, dass man nicht nach Serbien weiterreisen kann, da Serbien den Kosovo nicht anerkennt.

Die Anreise nach Montenegro aus Albanien

Auch aus Albanien gibt es mehrere Möglichkeiten, nach Montenegro zu gelangen.

Es gibt die folgenden Grenzübergänge:

• Muriqan – Sukobin an der Küste
• Hani i Hotit – Bozhaj hinter dem Lake Shkodra
• Vermosh – Guci im Bergland

Wir haben bislang immer Hani i Hotit genutzt. Hier braucht man schon etwas Nerven. Alle fahren kreuz und quer, ständig wird gehupt, und der Zöllner mit der Trillerpfeife trillert bevorzugt die an, die sich an die Verkehrsregeln halten, anstatt jene, die chaotisch drängeln, und damit erst das Chaos verursachen.

Montenegro schnell durchqueren

Wer mit dem Wohnmobil Montenegro schnell durchqueren möchte, um z.B. Albanien zu erreichen, der lässt die Küste am Besten aus, und fährt über Nikšić und Podgorica. 2019 düsten wir so in etwa drei Stunden durch Montenegro, um von Bosnien nach Albanien zu gelangen.

Die Bucht von Kotor mit dem Wohnmobil

Ein Pflichtstopp, um Montenegro mit dem Camper zu bereisten, ist die Bucht von Kotor.

Die Bucht von Kotor ist eines der bekanntesten Reiseziele in Montenegro. Die fjordartige Bucht besteht aus vier Einzelbecken . Die inneren Becken von Kotor und Risan liegen an der namensgebenden Stadt. Hinter der Meerenge von Verige liegen dann die Becken von Tivat und Herceg Novi.

Im Ort Kamenari an der Meerenge von Verige setzt eine Fähre über. Damit lassen sich die inneren Buchten auslassen, wenn man nur in den Süden Montenegros weiterreisen möchte.

Die Städte in der Bucht von Kotor gehen bis auf die Griechen, Römer und Venezianer zurück, die diese Städte im Laufe der Jahrhunderte gründeten.

Die Geschichten zum Namen des Landes gehen auseinander, doch eine davon erzählt, dass wohl die Venezianer in die Bucht in der Abenddämmerung eingelaufen sein sollen, und dann die schwarzen Berge erspäht haben. Wenn man die beeindruckenden Berge in den Abendstunden sieht, kann man sich das schon vorstellen.

In der Bucht findet man mehrere Muschelfarmen, wo man direkt einkaufen kann. Für ein frisch selbst gekochtes Abendmahl ist also auf Wunsch gesorgt.

Kotor ist eine nette Stadt – leider sieht man sie meist kaum, hinter den riesigen Kreuzfahrtschiffen die vor ihr vor Anker liegen, und sie beinahe komplett verdecken. Dennoch macht eine Stadtbesichtigung Spaß, solange man keinen Geheimtipp erwartet.

Sehr schön soll der Aufstieg zur Bucht über Kotor sein.

Unsere persönliche Empfehlung ist, sich etwas aus dem Zentrum zu entfernen und sich eine traditionelle Kafana zu suchen. Diese Cafés servieren essen zu sehr moderaten Preisen.

Das Westufer der innerer Bucht von Kotor

Bis zur Stadt Kotor kann man mit dem Wohnmobil problemlos fahren, danach zweigt die Hauptstraße ab und führt weg von der Küste. Wer nun hartnäckig der Küstenstraße folgt, wird bald entdecken, warum diese nicht die Hauptverbindung darstellt. Dieser Straßenabschnitt ist sehr schmal, und zwar grundsätzlich kein Problem für Wohnmobile, allerdings nur dann, wenn es keinen Gegenverkehr gibt.

Wir hatten hier die tollsten Erlebnisse. Vorausschauend zu fahren brachte uns nur hupend überholende Montenegriner ein, die nicht verstanden, warum wir plötzlich anhielten. Einige Meter weiter verursachten sie dann Stau mit den entgegenkommenden Autos, und wir mussten genauso lange warten, als hätten wir diesen Stau verursacht.

Auto Kamp Jadran

Wir bleiben zwei Nächte am Auto Kamp Jadran in Donj Stoliv. Das Camp ist sehr simpel, die Dusche besteht aus einem Vorhang im Freien mit kalten Wasser, und der Strom fiel dauernd aus. Dann musste man den älteren Betreiber aus seinem Haus klingeln, und er brachte die Elektrik wieder in abenteuerlicher Weise in Gange (ich jedenfalls hätte in den verrosteten Sicherungskasten nicht freiwillig hineingegriffen). Der Ausblick auf die Bucht war aber wunderbar, und wir hatten es sehr ruhig.

Ob der Campingplatz heute noch existiert, wissen wir nicht. Der Betreiber war schon recht alt, und auf Google Maps können wir das Camp nicht mehr finden. Allerdings finden sich in der unmittelbaren Umgebung einige, weitere Campingplätze.

Unser Video zur Bucht von Kotor:

[youtube]8t53hMqfLNk[/youtube]

Die Halbinsel Lustiča

Nach Verlassen der Bucht von Kotor sahen wir uns noch kurz die Halbinsel Lustiča an. Leider fanden wir dort keine Wohnmobil-geeigneten Plätze.

Entlang der Küste Montenegros mit dem Wohnmobil

Die Küste Montenegros ist kurz. Das muss man wissen, denn wenn man einfach gedankenlos dahingondelt (so, wie wir), wie man es vielleicht in Griechenland macht, und nach der besten Bucht Ausschau hält, kann es passieren, dass man plötzlich das Ende des Landes erreicht hat.

Was sollen wir sagen: Es war August, und wir haben eine Allergie gegen Sonnenschirm-Meere. Genau diese sieht man aber an den Stränden Montengros, vor allem um die Städte. Wir hätten uns die Zeit nehmen müssen, auch kleinere Straßen mal genauer unter die Lupe zu nehmen und entlegenere Buchten anzufahren. Die einfach erreichbaren Strände waren jedenfalls alle komplett überfüllt, weshalb wir sie links liegen ließen.

Dabei sind die Buchten an sich ja wunderschön. Wenn sie nur nicht so voll gewesen wären…

Dabei gäbe es sie ja, die netten Plätze. Leider sahen wir sie nur von der Ferne aus, und wollten uns damals keine Zeit nehmen, um zurückzufahren und die Zufahrt zu finden. Beim nächsten Mal!

So aber stoppten wir nur einmal bei einer Tankstelle, dann bei einer Bäckerei, und kamen auch schon in Ulcinj an.

Unsere Eindrücke der Küste und von Ulcinj kannst du dir auch auf YouTube ansehen.

Sveti Stefan

Sveti Stefan ist eine Insel in Privatbesitz, die noble Hotels beherbergt. Der Pöbel im Wohnmobil kann die Insel aber immerhin von der Straße aus fotografieren. Ist auch etwas.

Ulcinj mit dem Wohnmobil

Ulcinj ist die südlichste Stadt Montenegros. Hier ist ein guter Teil der Bevölkerung bereits albanischer Abstammung, d.h. man darf hier bereits eine andere Kultur erwarten. In Ulcinj ruft abends der Muezzin zum Gebet, und über eine albanische Hochzeitsfeier am Campingplatz darf man sich nicht wundern. Doch dazu gleich mehr.

Camping Safari Beach

Wir landen am Campingplatz Safari Beach am Velika Plaza. Hier gibt es moderate, thermische Winde, und mit großen Segeln/großen Schirmen kommen Kite- und Windsurfer hier teilweise auf ihre Kosten.

Der Campingplatz ist ganz nett. Zwar sehr einfach, aber wenn man einen Platz in der ersten Reihe erwischt, hat man einen schönen Blick auf den Strand. Da der Strand aber so breit ist, ist es trotzdem nicht so nahe zum Wasser.

Als wir eines Abends zurück zum Camp kamen, trauten wir unseren Ohren nicht. Es war Mitternacht, doch von Nachtruhe war keine Spur. Das Camp war voller fremder, auffallend gut gekleideter Leute. Wie sich herausstellte, wurde im Campingplatz-Restaurant eine albanische Hochzeit veranstaltet. Die Gäste kamen aus der ganzen Welt – das stellte man fest, wenn man die Sanitäranlagen des Camps aufsuchte, und sich dort neben der Chemie-Toiletten-Entleerung herausgeputzte Amerikanerinnen vor dem Spiegel hübsch machten. Die Musik beschallte den gesamten Campingplatz, und irgendwann, um fünf Uhr früh, gab es dann noch ein Feuerwerk. Geschlafen wurde also nicht, aber es war ein interessantes Erlebnis.

Velika Plaza

Der Velika Plaza (der „große Strand“) ist ein zwölf Kilometer langer Sandstrand, womit er zu Europas längsten Stränden zählt. Er ist unterteilt in bewirtschaftete, sowie in unbewirtschaftete Abschnitte.

Die bewirtschafteten Abschnitte sind nicht gerade ruhig. Hier gibt es Strandbars, viele Besucher, Autos, laute Musik, usw. Sonnenschirm-Meere wie in Italien findet man hier vor.

Nun würde man meinen, dass man als ruhesuchender Camper an den unbewirtschafteten Abschnitten besser aufgehoben wäre. Leider herrscht dort ein extremes Müllproblem. Man findet keinen sauberen Quadratmeter. Zwar sammeln wir auch mal Müll, wenn wir gerne wo stehen möchten, aber hier würde man kaum fertigwerden.

Trotzdem ist der Strand schön und sehenswert.

Am Südende des Velika Plaza befindet sich „Ada Bojana“, die Mündung der Ada, die aus Albanien kommend hier ins Meer fließt. Hier gibt es nicht nur viele Fischrestaurants und traditionelle Fischer-Hütten, sondern auch einen Campingplatz. Dieser ist jedoch ein FKK-Campingplatz, d.h. wer das nicht mag, ist am Safari Beach besser aufgehoben.

Am Westufer des Lake Shkodra

Montenegro mit dem Camper hat mehr zu bieten, als nur die Küste. Vom Velika Plaza fahren wir in die Berge, um den Lake Shkodra auf der Montenegrinischen Seite zu umfahren. Nach den ersten paar Serpentinen können wir uns schon wieder eine Pause gönnen um im Restaurant Panorama gut zu essen, und nochmal zurück auf den Velika Plaza zu blicken.

Hinter dem Velika Plaza sieht man auf dem folgenden Bild schon die hohen Berge Albaniens.

Wir fahren weiter und erreichen bald das Ufer des Lake Shkodra. Naja, Ufer ist gut: Es liegt weit unter uns, denn die Straße führt am Bergkamm entlang. Die Straße ist stellenweise sehr schmal, Leitschienen sind Luxus, den es meist nicht gibt. Glücklicherweise gibt es nicht viel Gegenverkehr, doch jedes entgegenkommende Auto ist eine Herausforderung. Oft geht es sich nur zentimeterweise aus, aneinander vorbeizukommen.

Unsere Empfehlung: Die Fahrt entgegen des Uhrzeigersinns würde dir immerhin ersparen, am Abgrund entlangfahren zu müssen.

Die wunderschönen Ausblicke auf den See, sowie die Stadt Shkodra in der Ferne, entschädigen aber für die mühsame Fahrt.

Tief unter uns sehen wir kleine Inselchen, auf denen sich Burgruinen und Kirchen befinden.

Bald danach landen wir wieder in der Ebene bei Hani i Hotit. Hier kann man die Grenze nach Albanien übertreten (was wir 2013 auch gemacht haben. Doch nach unserem fünftägigen Ausflug bis nach Durres setzen wir unsere Tour in Montenegro wie hier beschrieben fort).

Durchs Bergland Montenegros

Unserer Meinung nach der schönste Teil Montenegros ist das Bergland. Wer Montenegro mit dem Camper bereist, sollte hier unbedingt einen Umweg in Kauf nehmen – es zahlt sich aus!

Hier findet man unberührte Natur vor. Schroffe Bergketten reihen sich an sanfte Almlandschaften. Unsere Eindrücke der Berge Montenegros haben wir auch in einem YouTube-Video festgehalten:

[youtube]y2t4GNgLtGQ[/youtube]

Von Podgorica nach Kolašin

Wir fahren, von Albanien kommend, weiter nach Norden. Bei der Hauptstadt Podgorica beigen wir dann in nordöstlicher Richtung nach Kolašin ab, und folgen dem Fluss Morača .

Hier gibt es mehrfach schöne Restaurants direkt am Fluss, ein Stopp lohnt sich.

Biogradsko Jezero (mit Campingplatz)

Kurz nach der Stadt Kolašin, wo es schon recht alpin wirkt, landen wir am Biogradsko Jezero. Hier gibt es einen Campingplatz in einem Naturschutzgebiet . Man steht nahe des Sees im Wald. Trotz der späten Stunde brechen wir noch zu einer kurzen Wanderung auf – allerdings mit etwas mulmigem Bauchgefühl, denn hier soll es Bären geben.

Der Campingplatz ist nicht gerade günstig, bietet dafür auch kaum Gegenleistung, und so setzen wir unsere Fahrt am nächsten Morgen gleich wieder fort.

Über Mojkovac weiter entlang der Tara

Bei Mojkovac biegen wir nach Nordwesten ab, und folgen nun bereits dem Fluss Tara. Unser nächstes Ziel: Die Besichtigung der berühmten Tara-Schlucht. Die Fahrt selbst ist schön, und sogar der ständige Nebel trägt positiv zur Stimmung bei.

Die Tara-Schlucht

Die Tara-Schlucht besichtigen wir primär von der Đurđevića-Brücke aus. Diese sehenswerte Brücke bietet einen genialen Blick über die Tara. Mutige können sich hier auch mit Flying Foxes bespaßen lassen, wir belassen es bei visuellen Eindrücken.

Und hier haben wir eine zweite, mögliche Erklärung für den Namen des Landes, Crna Gora. Gora bedeutet nämlich nicht nur Berg, sondern kann auch Wald oder Holz bedeuten. Und hier im Durmitor-Nationalpark erscheinen die Wälder schonmal schwarz, je nach Einfallswinkel des Sonnenlichts. Crna Gora heißt also auch „Schwarzer Wald“.

Tief unter uns sehen wir traditionell bewirtschaftete Bauernhöfe. Hier scheint die Zeit stehengeblieben zu sein.

Der Durmitor-Nationalpark

Leider ist uns das Wetterglück nicht hold. Im Durmitor-Nationalpark wollten wir eigentlich wandern gehen, doch nun nieselt es meist, und Gewitter drohen. Wir belassen es daher bei einigen, kurzen Wanderungen. Eine richtige Bergwanderung schaffen wir nicht.

Dennoch begeistert uns die Landschaft mit ihrer alpinen Anmutung, gemeinsam mit einem doch etwas exotischen Balkan-Flair.

Zablak ist ein Ort im Durmitor-Nationalpark, von dem aus man einige Wanderungen und Ausflüge unternehmen kann. Im Winter wird der Ort sogar zum Wintersportort mit einigen Schipisten.

Crno Jezero

Bei Zablak liegt der Crno Jezero, der wohl ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel darstellt. Jedenfalls findet man am Zugang eine Horde an Touristen vor. Folgt man aber dem Wanderweg rund um den See, dann ist man bald wieder alleine. Die Wanderung ist wirklich schön.

Der Sedlo-Pass

Nach Zablak biegen wir nach Nordwesten ab, um den Sedlo-Pass auf 1907 Metern zu erklimmen. Die Straße auf den Pass verbindet das Tal der Tara und das Tal der Piva. Sie ist in gutem Zustand und für Camper kein Problem.

Der Sedlo-Pass soll sich als echtes Highlight unseres Montenegro-Roadtrips erweisen. Die Aussichten sind grandios.

Grüne Gräser auf Schroffen Felskanten machen optisch viel her. Beim Aussteigen merkt man dann aber, dass man schon recht hoch oben ist, es ist kühl.

Die Ausblicke nach Norden haben dann mit der mäandernden Straße etwas von der Großglockner Hochalpenstraße.

Der Verkehr hier oben hielt sich in Grenzen, weshalb die schmale Straße auch ganz bequem zu fahren war.

Auf der Straße liegen immer wieder größere Felsen. Steinschlaggefahr ist gegeben.

Auf der Nordseite des Passes geht die Landschaft von schroffen Bergspitzen allmählich in sanfter geschwungene, grasbewachsene Hügel über. Man bewegt sich weiterhin abwärts, doch es ist nun relativ flach, beinahe eine Hochebene. Hier weiden riesige Schafherden und viele Kühe.

Da die Herden auch gerne und oft die Straße queren, empfiehlt sich eine vorausschauende Fahrweise.

Sanfte Almen wechseln sich immer wieder mit schroffen Felskanten ab. Man bekommt gar nicht genug von den Ausblicken.

In der Region um Pišče finden wir einige, große Höfe sowie touristische Einrichtungen (Bed&Breakfast und ähnliches). Mit dem Camper würde man auch so einige Übernachtungsplätze finden.

Danach geht es aber nocheinmal steil abwärts. Man sieht von hoch oben bereits den Stausee Pivsko Jezero , welchem man nun durch eine Menge abenteuerlicher Tunnel (aus dem Stein gehauen und stockdunkel) und über viele Serpentinen näherkommt.

Im Tal angekommen kaufen wir Honig und Tee aus den Bergen bei einem Straßenhändler, und dabei werden wir überfallen:

Eine kecke Ziege findet auch, dass der getrocknete Tee toll riecht, und verlangt energisch nach diesem. Bevor der Ziegenkopf zum zweiten Mal in Olyas Handtasche verschwindet, ergreifen wir die Flucht.

Verständlich, warum die Ziege unbedingt unseren Tee haben wollte: Schließlich sollte dieser gegen allerlei Beschwerden helfen.

Über Pluzine landeten wir schließlich bei Nikšić.

Slano-See bei Niksic

Wer von der Küste nach Nikšić (oder zurück) fährt, kommt unweigerlich am wunderschönen Slano-See vorbei. An der Hauptstraße gibt es hier Aussichtspunkte, von denen aus man den See von oben bewundern kann. Wer sich nach unten traut, kann auf schmalen Straßen interessante Privatcampingplätze erreichen.

Herceg Novi mit dem Wohnmobil

Nach einem langen Tag durchs Bergland Montenegros versuchen wir, in Herceg Novi am Eingang der Bucht von Kotor zu übernachten.

Herceg Novi können wir mit dem Wohnmobil jedoch wirklich nicht empfehlen. Es gibt zwar mehrere Campingplätze, doch diese sind für Zelt-Camper gedacht. Teilweise betritt man sie ausschließlich über Treppen, das heißt die Stellplätze sind für Wohnmobile absolut unerreichbar. Die Stadt liegt an einem Hang, d.h. man findet auch so kaum gerade Stellplätze, und an der Küste herrscht Trubel und es ist laut.

Auch die Beton-Strände entsprechen nicht unserem Geschmack. Die Stadt selbst kann man aber schon besichtigen, es gibt einige, historische Bauwerke.

Mit dem Wohnmobil hoch über Herceg Novi

Die Berge rund um die Bucht von Kotor bieten tolle Ausblicke auf die Bucht. Angst vor schmalen Schotterstraßen darf man aber nicht haben. Montenegro mit dem Camper bedeutet eben auch ein wenig Material-Verschleiß.

Ausgeraubt in Montenegro?

Als wir 2013 in Herceg Novi die Stellplatz-Suche aufgeben mussten, hatten wir übrigens ein spannendes Erlebnis und dachten, wir würden ausgeraubt. Die Geschichte kannst du in Ausgeraubt in Montenegro nachlesen.

Montenegro mit dem Camper ist eine Empfehlung wert. Hier findet man eine spannende Mischung aus Adria-Küste und relativ unberührtem Bergland, aus gewohnter Tourismus-Kulisse wie in Kroatien und dann doch wieder spannenden Abenteuern am ursprünglichen Balkan. Die Montenegriner waren sehr freundlich, lediglich an der Küste hatten wir Probleme mit versuchter Abzocke. Mit dem Wohnmobil kann man fast alle Straßen befahren und somit auch die entlegensten Gegenden erkunden.

Über Gerfried (WoMo Guide)

Montenegro Road Trip: Epic Itinerary for Two Weeks in Montenegro!

Montenegro (Crna Gora) is a perfect place to go on a road trip in Europe. This detailed two weeks Montenegro road trip itinerary covers the best places in the country that you can visit in 10-14 days.

Montenegro is a small Balkan country with surprisingly a lot to see ! Panoramic roads wind through scenic coastal towns, serene lakes, deep canyons, and breathtaking mountain passes. Therefore, going on a Montenegro road trip is by far the best way to explore this former Yugoslavian country.

With your own wheels, you will be able to conveniently explore the best places in Montenegro. Although some sights in Montenegro can be reached by public transport or using organized tours, many of the most amazing places are only accessible by car.

What to expect in Montenegro?

In Montenegro, you will be treated to pristine beaches on the Adriatic coast, romantic sunsets at Kotor Bay, a number of charming fishing villages such as Perast, and the atmospheric Venetian-style old town of Kotor. You will also be challenged at white water rafting in Tara Canyon, test your stamina on well-marked hiking trails in the breathtaking mountains of Durmitor, Lovcen, and Proklatje National Parks, and then relax while gliding the waters of the scenic Skadar Lake on a traditional Montenegrin fishing boat. All this and more is waiting for you in this only recently discovered former Yugoslavian country.

How many days do you need in Montenegro?

Based on my experience from several visits to the country, if you want to explore almost all of the best sights, two weeks in Montenegro is sufficient time to do so. Even in one week, you can tackle quite a few highlights of The Black Mountain.

I put together this comprehensive 2-week Montenegro road trip itinerary covering both the Adriatic coast, the most impressive lakes, and mountains. It also indicates the distance traveled, provides an interactive map, and suggests places to stay in Montenegro.

In this post, I also highlight absolute must-see places in Montenegro for those of you who have less time to spare. Moreover, I mention places that I have skipped and which I wish I would have skipped.

Note: if you fly in and out of Podgorica, you can still easily alter this itinerary accordingly. The same applies to those travelers who are arriving by land from neighboring Balkan countries.

When to visit Montenegro ?

The shoulder season in Montenegro is in June and September. It is by far the best time to enjoy Montenegro if you are keen to spend more time at the beaches. During the high season of July and August, the Montenegrin coast attracts crowds of beach bums. Therefore, finding a secluded spot by the sea might be a bit of a challenge.

However, July and August are perfect months for hiking in Durmitor or Prokletje National Parks or other mountainous areas across Montenegro.

Driving in Montenegro

Driving is an ideal way to explore beautiful Montenegro. Having your own ride will allow you to access every highlight and the most remote places in the country easily. No need to mention, you will be able to stick to your own schedule.

Moreover, Montenegro is so small in size that distances between places of interest are usually relatively short. The only catch when driving in Montenegro is the narrow roads. This makes traveling around the country slower than expected. For example, it might take 1 hour to complete 30 KM when driving winding mountain roads. Luckily, conditions of the most of the roads are good.

Another thing to consider when driving in Montenegro is that, more often than not, the width of the road is enough for only one car. Therefore, you have to take it slowly when approaching sharp turns. This could be nerve-wracking for less experienced drivers, especially when locals are jumping out of the blind turns at a full speed. But before you freak out, traffic in the countryside is sparse- sometimes you won’t meet a single car for quite a while.

Renting a Car in Montenegro

Major car rental companies are based in Podgorica and Tivat Airports. However, I would suggest checking either Localrent or DiscoverCars.com . Those car search websites usually offer lower rates compared to many other popular car search engines. Localrent offers competitive rates between local suppliers and often does not even require a deposit.

Where to stay during the Montenegro road trip

On every trip, including this road trip in Montenegro, I try finding privately owned accommodation, usually studio flats or one-bedroom apartments rather than going to the hotel. This way, especially when staying for a few consecutive nights, I have the convenience of eating, washing my clothes, and basically feeling more at home.

When looking for accommodation in Montenegro with a rental car crucial criterion is parking space. Each place that I booked during my stay in Montenegro has private or at least easy parking on the street.

Here is a quick summary of the places I stayed at during my road trip:

I booked all my Montenegro accommodation through Booking.com. You can find more detailed comments on each of the places I stayed at later in this post, at the end of each day section, or read more reviews on Booking.com .

• Dobrota (Kotor Bay)- Apartment Mileva – 5 nights in total (beginning and end of the trip)
• Žabljak (Durmitor National Park)- Apartment Mountain Dream – 2 consecutive nights
• Štavna (Komovi mountains) – Etno Selo Štavna
• Grebaje Valley (Prokletije National Park)- Bungalows Katun Maja Karanfil
• Rijeka Crnojevića (Lake Skadar) – Estate and Winery San Duyevo
• Virpazar (Lake Skadar)- Old House Pajovic
• Petrovac na Moru (Adriatic Coast)- Seaside Apartments Petrovac – 2 consecutive nights

Budgeting for your road trip in Montenegro

Montenegro is still cheaper than most European countries. However, it is slowly but steadily catching up (I have noticed that prices have increased since my first visit in 2017). A rough breakdown of expected costs when traveling in Montenegro for the major need is:

• Accommodation: €30-€50/night for a nice studio or 1 bed apartment
• Dine out: €20-€40/day depending on where and what you eat and drink
• Car Rental: €10-30/day for a car booked in advance depending on the season
• Fuel: €1.21/Liter for Diesel (2021 prices)

2-Weeks in Montenegro

Montenegro 2-Week Road Trip Itinerary Day by Day

For those of you who want to have a good grasp on what the Black Mountain country has to offer, here is my day-by-day breakdown of the route I took during my two-week road trip in Montenegro.

Day 1-2: Kotor Bay-Old Kotor and Perast

• Distance covered:  36 KM
• Total drive time:  50 MIN (without traffic)
• Overnight in: Dobrota (Kotor Bay) for 3 consecutive nights

If you have landed in Tivat, the best way to start your journey is to head directly to Kotor Bay (Boka Kotorska). I promise that you will be instantly charmed by the beauty of this Montenegrin gem. It is a place like no other: rocky coastline dotted with old Mediterranean waterside towns surrounded by towering rugged cliffs. Kotor Bay is so beautiful that it is even called Europe’s southernmost fjord. Actually, it is a river valley made up of four connected bays.

The most famous town in Boka Kotorska is a walled Venetian-style old town of Kotor. It is packed with so much history and culture, that it was made UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town was dominated by Italians for four centuries, hence a clear influence on its architecture.

Things to do in Kotor Old Town

• Get an aerial view of Kotor Bay by climbing to St Giovanni Fortress.

Climbing 1350 steps to St Giovanni Fortress is a must-do activity when visiting the old town of Kotor. Trust me, it is well worth your effort- you will get unparalleled views of the triangled-shaped red-roofed old town of Kotor. There will be plenty of awesome photography spots along the way as well, including the photogenic tower of the Church of Our Lady of Remedy.

USEFUL TIP: go extra early to completely avoid the heat and the crowd. I started my climb at around 6 AM. Later, at around 8 AM, when other keen climbers are still at the bottom, I was already on my way down. Sun started to illuminate the mountains and the old town. I got the first morning light which allowed for some amazing shots of the Kotor Bay scenery.

The entrance fee to the St Giovanni Fortress is 8 EUR (used to be 3 EUR). However, the guard comes only at 8 AM, therefore if you show up early, you get to climb for free. You can still choose to pay on the way back, though. However, nobody will stop you as due to the large number of climbers they simply wouldn’t remember who has passed the entrance before (I didn’t tell you that).

• Wander the cobblestone streets of Kotor old town.

Getting lost in the maze of the meandering cobblestone streets is a fun experience on its own. Each turn is different- then try to find your way back.

USEFUL TIP: During the busy season, come as early as 7-8 AM to enjoy empty streets. From around 9 AM tourists start to flock to the old town of Kotor. It gets even worse when the Titanic size cruise ship parks in the bay for a day.

• Hang out with and feed many of Kotor cats

As soon as you step into Kotor’s old town, you will immediately notice an unusually large population of cats. Cat-o-holics will melt away while all the cat haters, you better stay away.  

Cats are considered to be the good luck of the town Kotor. It is said, that back in the day, sailors used to bring cats along with them from all over the world. Later the purring friends helped to keep the town clean from rats and snakes.  Today, cats are a symbol of Kotor town. Here, on every corner, you will find cat-dedicated souvenir shops where the best seller is a cat artifact- from fridge magnets to cups, plates, statues, aprons, and so on.

On a serious note, even though cats in Kotor are being looked after by the locals and often fed by the tourists, I saw that quite a few of them still lack proper care. There is a dedicated Facebook group where you can support Kotor cats by liking the page or even make a bigger difference by donating to the organization .

Just a short 20-minute drive from Kotor, there is the idyllic waterside town of Perast, which is sometimes referred to as mini Venice. It truly feels like you are at one of the Italian lakes. At a glance, you can tell it used to be a prosperous sailor’s and merchants’ town. The marvelous baroque architecture, a dozen of churches, and a romantic pedestrian-only promenade dominate the landscape of the little town. Two dreamy islets My Lady of Rocks (Gospa od Škrpjela) and St. George Island (Sveti Dorde) seen from the shores of Perast are probably the most photographed landmarks in Boka Kotorska.

Perast is one of my favorite old towns in Kotor Bay. Surprisingly it is still relatively less touristy than the old town of Kotor, although I would say it’s even prettier and much more laid back. Perast is tiny, so it can take you just a couple of hours to see it all, but I bet you will want to spend much more time there.

Things to do in Perast

• Sunbathe on the shores of Perast

If you are visiting in summer, pack some swimwear- you can easily take a dip in the bay waters by jumping in from one of the paved shores. Locals love to sunbathe or just chill under the pine trees- you are most welcome to join them for this relaxing therapy.

• Take a boat trip to My Lady of the Rocks Island

St George and Our Lady of the Rocks, both are pilgrimage sites, but only the latter is open for public access. There are plenty of local boat companies offering a ride to the island for as little as 5 EUR (with 45 minutes on the island). Also, you can find boat rides directly from Kotor on Get Your Guide .

• Go for a romantic sunset stroll on the promenade of Perast

Last but not least, go for a romantic walk along the promenade, slowly soaking up the beautiful views. I would suggest you stay in Perast until late evening and watch the sunset from one of the waterfront restaurant patios.

PARKING TIP: Parking close to Perast can be a challenge, especially in the afternoon. Look out for spaces on the side of the road just before and after Perast. You will notice people parking on the pavement, and it seems to be totally okay to do so.

Where to stay in Kotor Bay?

I suggest staying in a nearby town Dobrota as opposed to the more popular old town of Kotor. Dobrota, which is much quieter and only 5 min drive away, or around 40min walk to Kotor Old town. With your own transport, you will also be able to reach the nearby town of Perast much faster.

I stayed in Mileva Apartments in Dobrota , and couldn’t recommend it more- it was a small detached cozy one-bedroom apartment overlooking Kotor Bay. The host Elena is the most helpful host I have ever met when booking through Booking.com . In other words, look no further!

Book your stay at Mileva Apartments .

You could possibly choose to stay in Kotor Old Town off-season. But during peak times, avoid it by all means as there are so many people wandering and hanging out late into the night that you won’t find peaceful accommodation inside the walls of the old town.

Also, good options for those who drive are Perast, Orahvoac, Moa, and Prcanj- those are all pretty nearby towns along the bay which are way quieter than old town Kotor.

Day 3: Day trip to Lovcen National Park, Njeguši, Cetinje via Kotor Serpentine

• Distance covered:  100 KM
• Total drive time:   2 HRS 45 MIN (return)
• Overnight in: Dobrota

KOTOR SERPENTINE

Taking a thrilling drive with mind-blowing views along the old serpentine road from Kotor leading to gorgeous Lovcen National Park is definitely one of the top things to do on your Montenegro trip. I loved Kotor serpentine regardless of it being a bit nerve-wracking. I even drove it twice! There are a total of 25 hairpin bends leading to the mountain village of Njeguši settled on Lovcen mountain.   

When driving Kotor serpentine I was tempted to stop at nearly every turn to take pictures of the opening views of Boka Bay. But the best of the best was waiting at the very top.

USEFUL TIP: Make sure you stop at a bar called “Horizont”. From here, the unparalleled birds-eye views of Kotor Bay open up.  Note that you can only enter the platform with tables if you are willing to buy a drink or a snack at the bar. But, hey, who wouldn’t want to have some cold Kokta (local Coca-Cola, but better) or a cup of coffee with this type of view- by far some of the best I have ever seen!

KOTOR SERPENTINE DRIVING TIP: Leave early, this way you will avoid serpentine traffic and most importantly big tourist buses which take up the whole width of the road. Making a way for a big bus can be a real test of your driving skills if you have to go in reverse on a dead-drop cliff.

LOVCEN NATIONAL PARK MAUSOLEUM

• Discover the beauty of the black mountain by visiting the tallest mausoleum in the world!

Built back in the 70s, Njegoš  Mausoleum in Lovcen National Park is one of the top destinations to visit in Montenegro. It is considered a masterpiece that combines architecture and art created by sculptor Ivan Meštrović. It is also the tallest mausoleum in the world where Montenegrin’s beloved bishop prince Petar Petrovic II Njegos is resting eternally.

With the rolling peaks and Adriatic coast far on the horizon, the views from the Lovcen mausoleum are one of the best in the country. You can also admire them during the sunset which I believe should be magical.

Drive after tackling the serpentine road further to Lovcen is a breeze. The road is newly built and has two wide lanes.

I reached Njegoš Mausoleum quite early at 8 am – an hour before the official opening time. I intended to fly a drone but the angry guard started shouting ordering me to land it. I did not understand why am I not allowed to take images of the mountain range or the mausoleum. The guard, satisfied that his order was followed, explained in a friendly manner, that there is a military base somewhere around and that I would need a permit from Cetinje municipality for flying.

Nonetheless, coming early paid off, as the guard let me in earlier than opening time and I got to take some nice shots on a regular camera before the tourist buses arrived.

For those of you who have more time to spare, Lovcen National Park is home to many hiking trails. During this trip, I didn’t have a chance to hike in Lovcen, but it is definitely on my list.  

Although self-driving is the best way to explore Lovcen, if you don’t have your own ride, this 12-hour tour to Lovcen National Park on Get Your Guide is a good option.

I was advised by our host in Kotor that Cetinje- the first capital of Montenegro- is a place worth a visit. I would say that for those of you who are into history and want to see slightly different scenery of a more casual life in Montenegro, it definitely is. Cetinje, being the first capital of Montenegro, had a huge significance in shaping what Montenegro is today. Although not as popular as beautiful Kotor or a tourist haven Budva, Cetinje is a hub for some important historical museums, and many embassies and Cetinje Monastery is the main attraction.

To me, though, the town didn’t leave much impression and seemed to be quite dull compared to the many other beautiful sights around Montenegro. It had this small forgotten post soviet town vibe where people show up on the streets only during the summer. The main pedestrian street (Ulica Njegoševa) although filled with restaurants and shops, was quite empty, but the main square had some action going on with local families hanging around.

When deciding whether or not you should visit Cetinje, please take my opinion with a pinch of salt because I am rarely keen on visiting museums. Instead, I am more attracted to scenic nature views or very old medieval towns where time has stopped centuries ago.

On the way back, make a stop at Njegusi village and get some homemade cheese or honey. This is a place you can see real Montenegrin village life. I only stopped to buy some honey, but I loved the atmosphere and how tidy the houses dotting the rolling hills looked. This scenic mountain village is definitely worth exploring more.

Day 4: Piva Canyon and Scenic P14 Route to Durmitor National Park

• Distance covered:  230 KM
• Total drive time:  4 HRS 45MIN
• Overnight in: Žabljak (2 consecutive nights)

After a short intro to Montenegrin mountains at Lovcen, the next day I woke up at 4 AM. It will for the longest drive in the whole trip- almost 5 hours. I will be heading north to Piva Canyon followed by an epic P14 route in Durmitor National Park. You don’t have to start your day this early unless, like me, you are planning to make multiple photo stops along the way (which you most likely will, and trust me the day passes by very quickly).

PIVA CANYON

• Driving Piva Canyon Road through 65 tunnels

The Piva Canyon is around 35 km long and reaches up to 1200 meters in depth at some parts with a turquoise color river winding at its base. The color of the Piva river is so bright and saturated that it even looks like it is coming straight out of the over-photoshopped image.

The main attraction is a scenic adrenaline-pumping journey on Piva Canyon Road through 65 small tunnels that are carved through the rock. The road passes the highest in the world Piva Reservoir at 675 meters above sea level!

When arriving from Kotor Bay, take the E762 road towards Plužine town. From here, continue until the Mratinje Dam to enjoy the winding and fun tunnel ride. Then come back the same way for the next leg of the journey on the P14 route.

USEFUL TIP: Make a stop at Plužine town where you can grab a coffee or have a snack with a view of Piva lake. Go ziplining over the Piva river if you fancy seeing a different perspective of it. Refill a car tank before heading to Durmitor as there won’t be any gas stations on P14 road until Žabljak (a base town in the mountains).

DURMITOR NATIONAL PARK

Durmitor National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring dozens of glacial lakes, deep canyons, dense pine forests, and craggy mountain peaks where clouds and fogs are rolling over at a reach of a hand. In the winter months, people go to Durmitor for skiing and snowboarding while summer is perfect for sightseeing and hiking. 

• Drive an Epic P14 Road: Pluzine -Trsa- Žabljak Route in Durmitor National Park

If I had to choose only one thing I want to see in Montenegro, which would be an enormously difficult decision to make, Durmitor Panoramic Route (known as P14 route or Durmitor Ring) would most likely beat even the Kotor Bay. Yes, it is an unbelievably amazing road to drive, with the scenery so beautiful that it feels like you are in a fairy-tale. I must confess that I traveled to Montenegro the second time mainly because I was dreaming to see the magical Durmitor National Park again and explore it a bit more by hiking.

Directions: You will start your drive from Plužine . The turn to P14 is easy to miss (but also easy to locate on Google Maps 43.168849, 18.85792). A dark tunnel entrance welcomes you to begin a new adventure. From here you will have to tackle 7 steep switchbacks and pass a few more of the rock tunnels. In this section keep an eye out for the fantastic views of Piva Canyon. Stop for some classic Piva lake pictures from above.

Then, continue on P14 via Trsa village. You will be driving through the heart of Durmitor National Park. The best part is around 15-20 km to Žabljak known as Sedlo Pass. The heart-expanding views will simply blow your mind away. Enjoy!

• Distance covered:  28 KM
• Total drive time:  40 MIN (driving to trailhead and back)
• Overnight in: Žabljak

Being part of the Dinaric Alps, Durmitor National Park is an ideal destination for some of the most scenic hikes in Europe. One of the well-known is the mighty Bobotov Kuk summit trail .

Starting at Sedlo Pass on the same P14 Road 14 KM from Žabljak town, this gorgeous hiking route will test your endurance at a 12 KM strenuous trail. The last steepest part towards the summit is only 1 KM long but it takes 2 hours to climb! The very last 100 meters is not for the faint-hearted or those suffering from vertigo. There are metal ropes attached to help pass the very narrow path with almost a vertical drop. But if you have done things like this before, go carefully and you will be totally fine.

Where to stay in Durmitor National Park?

A perfect base in Durmitor National Park is Žabljak town, which is the largest settlement in the area. From here you can easily access most of the hikes in Durmitor National Park, drive the Durmitor Ring route, and visit nearby Tara Bridge. In winter, Žabljak serves as a base camp for skiing enthusiasts.

I stayed in Apartment M – at the very center of Žabljak with easy access to restaurants and Voli supermarket, yet still quiet. It was a comfortable 2-bedroom apartment with a garden and, as usual for Montenegro, very hospitable hosts.

Book your stay at Apartment M through Booking.com

Day 6: Black Lake, Tara Canyon, Biogradska Gora Lake and Komovi Mountains

• Distance covered:  140 KM
• Total drive time:  3 HRS 15 MIN
• Overnight in: Etno Selo Stava in Komovi mountains

BLACK LAKE (CRNO JEZERO)

The next day after the hike, despite sore legs, I woke up at 6 AM to catch early morning mirror views at the Black Lake (known as mountain eyes). Despite the name, this glacial lake gleams in emerald green reflecting mysterious pine forests and craggy peaks. Black Lake is the largest and the most well-known in Durmitor Park, therefore, coming there early is by far the best time. An easy 3 KM hiking trail around the lake can be a great way to start a day if you fancy light trekking activities that do not kill.

Black Lake is located just a few kilometers from Žabljak town center. The entrance fee is 3 EUR, unless you come early morning when there is no living soul around.

TARA RIVER CANYON

Tara River Canyon is the deepest in Europe (up to over 1300 meters) and the second deepest in the whole World (after Grand Canyon in the USA), and it is also a UNESCO Heritage site! Part of Tara river runs through Durmitor National Park and is a spectacular sight to see.

• Go on a short hike to Ćurevac viewpoint

If you have more time to spare, while still in Žabljak , I suggest going to Ćurevac viewpoint (43.201465, 19.092986). You will need to park at a dedicated parking spot and trek for around 1 hour to reach it. At a steep rise of 1650 meters above sea level, Ćurevac is graciously called an “eternal guardian” of the Tara river. From here, fantastic views of the Canyon open up.

• Admire Tara River Canyon Views from The Đurđevića Bridge

This is a less demanding way to see Tara Canyon. An iconic 5-arches Tara Bridge which was blown up and then rebuilt during World War II is one of the tourist hot spots in Durmitor National Park. The Djurdjevica bridge not only played an important infrastructural role but also appeared in movies and novels.

The bridge is an impressive picture-perfect concrete structure standing 172 meters above the river. Enjoy the views of Djurdjevica with a cup of coffee at one of the “konobas” or walk over it to admire Tara Canyon.

For adrenaline lovers, ziplining over the two shores of Tara river will offer ever-changing birds-eye view.

• Go white water rafting in the deepest canyon in Europe .

Finally, white water rafting is another very popular activity in the area. I have done white water rafting in Piva Canyon back in 2017. It is a guided adventure, perfectly safe for beginners. This should usually be booked in advance. Check this Get Your Guide white water rafting tour with pick-up options from the coastal side of Montenegro.

BIOGRADSKA GORA LAKE

After a short stop at Tara Bridge, I continue my road trip South East on P4 towards Biogradska Gora National Park. P4 road is a part of the Montenegro Crown panoramic route. The ride is pleasant and picturesque featuring signature rock-carved tunnels along the way. After one hour of riding the winding country roads, I reached another nature gateway- Lake Biograd. I just took a short glimpse there and I think that it is worth coming only if you are planning to spend a longer time hiking around, swimming in a boat or lake. As a sight, the lake is beautiful, and reminded me of many forest lakes of Lithuanian . If you had to choose to stop at Biogradska Lake or Black Lake, the latter is definitely more impressive.

• Stop for traditional layered cheese in Kolašin

On the way to Komovi mountains, after exploring Lake Biograd, I suggest stopping for lunch in Kolasin. It is a bigger town in the area known as a winter skiing resort. Here you can try traditional layered LISNATI cheese which is typical in this area. It can be obtained only in a few Northern regions of Montenegro due to the climate factors and pasture characteristics.

KOMOVI MOUNTAINS

• Staying in a katun

One of the great experiences in a rural part of Montenegro is staying at a katun – a traditional temporary herdsmen settlement/hut. Katun in Montenegro is the essence of the mountain lifestyle and culture. During the summer month, when the snow melts and the grass starts to sprout, locals would take their livestock from the villages at the bottom to higher up the mountain. At this time animals would graze on highland grasses among the katun areas until the early fall.

Overnight at Etno Selo Štavna  in Komovi Mountains

My road trip schedule required an overnight stop before I reach the Easter part of Montenegro. I looked for the option in the Komovi mountains which are less known than Durmitor National Park but also super beautiful. After a quick search on Google Maps, I spotted Etno Selo Štavna  , which turned out to be available to reserve through booking.com. This modern-day Katun-type bungalow complex is based at an altitude of 1800 meters at the spacious plateau Štavna. Here you can enjoy breathtaking backdrops of magnificent mountain peaks just outside the doorstep of the bungalow. Most of the people who reach this gorgeous off-beaten path destination are mostly hikers, alpinists, and mountain bikers.

Since I planned my next hike in the Accursed (Prokletije) mountains, I chose just to take an overnight break with a picture-perfect view.

Etno Selo Štavna is a family-run business and one of the first of its kind in the area offering sustainable accommodation and promoting eco-tourism in Andrijevica municipality. The prices are very affordable (45 EUR including breakfast), especially for bigger groups as the bungalows are massive and can host up to 6 people. If plan to hike in Komovi, it’s a perfect base as most of the trailheads are close to Štavna .

Day 7: Prokletije National Park, Grebaje Valley , Volušnica hike

• Distance covered:  65 KM
• Total drive time:  1 HR 30 MIN
• Overnight in: Grebaje Valley

The next morning starts with a heartful breakfast at Komovi mountain accommodation. Perfect before heading all the way to the furthest spot of the journey and the best-kept secret of Montenegro- Prokletije National Park.

Prokletije is one of the 5 national parks in Montenegro and the most remote one, hence less visited but dramatically beautiful. The Park encompasses the Accursed (Prokletije) mountain range which is shared as a natural border with Albania and Kosovo. Accursed mountains are often referred to as Albanian Alps, and it features many quite well-marked hiking trails which could be accessed both from Montenegro and Albanian side, the former having the easiest access for those who drive.

• Conquering Volušnica Peak in Accursed Mountains

The goal of the afternoon is to hike to Volušnica peak in the Accursed mountains. A moderate-level trek will reward you with spectacular Karanfili peak views, which are said to be the most photogenic massif in the Accursed mountain range.

This hike took me 2 hours of steep hike to reach the peak of Volušnica and 45 min to run down the whole trail before sunset.

Useful Tip: Hiking late afternoon is the best time to catch the perfect light and get the best pictures of Kranfili peaks.

• Stay in Grebaje Valley – a perfect base for hikes with unparalleled Prekletije mountain range views

I have based myself in one of the few available accommodations- small but cozy Bungalows Katun Maja Karanfil. The area, including the restaurant, has unobstructed views of the mountain valley.  Also, several hiking trails in Prokletije mountains start just a few steps away from Maja Karanfil making it a very convenient base. I’ve heard that the owner is very knowledgeable about all the routes, but I have not met him on my trip, since he wasn’t around by the time I left for the hike.

Note: There is a 1 EUR per person entrance fee to Grebaje Valley. You have to pay for it even if you have your accommodation booked.

Food Tip: Katun Maja Karanfil restaurant was amazing- try trout fish with cabbage salad for dinner!

Book your stay at Bungalows Katun Maja Karanfil

Day 8: Gusinje, Morača Canyon and Lake Skadar

• Distance covered:  200 KM
• Total drive time:  4 HRS 40 MIN
• Recommended route:  P9, M9, E65, E80, M2.3
• Overnight in: Rijeka Crnojevića Skadar Lake
• Stop for a coffee in Gusinje

On day 8 I had the second-longest drive on my road trip all the way from East to South of Montenegro. After leaving Grebaje Valley, I stopped at a totally off-the-beaten-path Gusinje town (which means Goose town).

It is an Albanian/Turkish-influenced little town with several mosques, men-only coffee shops, and, sadly, at least a dozen covered women with babies begging for money.

The town atmosphere felt stuck back in time. Locals were pleasantly surprised to see a female tourist wandering around the streets on her own. Yet it felt a bit awkward sometimes as I could sense all eyes on me. Still, it was fun taking pictures of keen locals. Then, I found a cozy coffee shop on one of the small streets with fewer staring eyes. A great strong morning café macchiato and people-watching was a fun way to start the long journey to the biggest lake in the Balkans- Lake Skadar.

• Drive underrated head-turning Morača Canyon

One of the highlights of this long route is driving the less known but equally spectacular Morača Canyon which originates in northern Montenegro under Rzača  mountain. The most impressive stretch is somewhere midway going down south from Kolašin town to the capital Podgorica on E65 road. The panoramic spot is marked on the map as “Platije- Panorama Kanjon Rijeke Moraca”.

Again, rock-carved tunnels and countless cliff-side bends will keep your hands tight on the wheel but you will find yourself constantly wanting to look around. The height of surrounding cliffs reaches 1000 meters in some parts. To me, Morača Canyon road was even more impressive than the well-known Tara Canyon road I took earlier.

SKADAR LAKE NATIONAL PARK

Skadar Lake, regardless of its blissfully beautiful surroundings, is still relatively out of the tourist’s radar. The lake is largest in the Balkans where two-thirds of it belongs to Montenegro, while a smaller part is in Albania. Lake Skadar has national park status and is featuring unspoiled natural beauty-clear waters with floating meadows of lilies are surrounded by rocky grassy hills. Moreover, hundreds of speeches of birds made lake Skadar their seasonal home, and hence it is one of the largest bird habitats in Europe.

Lake Skadar is also a place to experience authentic Montenegrin culture: island monasteries, small timeless villages producing organic foods and wines, are sprinkled on the shores. Here you can truly experience a slow-paced simple lifestyle and completely escape the crowds seen at the Adriatic coast during the summer.

What to see and do in Lake Skadar National Park ?

• Admire Lake Skadar views from Pavlova Strana viewpoint

The most famous panoramic spot in Lake Skadar National Park is Pavlova Strana viewpoint overlooking a “horseshoe bend” of Rijeka Crnojevića (river Crnojevića). It is accessible via M 3.2 route – a classic one-lane Montenegrin rural road. By now, you should be either totally fed up with never-ending turns and narrow winds, or so used to it that it will be just another slightly crazy drive. Take it slowly though, surroundings are too beautiful to be rushed through.

• Visit Rijeka Crnojevića – Montenegrin Nice

Just 10 min drive west of Pavlova Strana, it is worth stopping at Rijeka Crnojevića  – a tranquil medieval town often referred to as Montenegrin Nice or a Little Venice. Before you paint a glamorous image of the Venetian canals in your head, I should adjust your expectations. The town which used to be the strongest trading center in Montenegro has not been renovated. There are lots of crumbling buildings that only remind us about Rijeka Crnojevića days of glory. Nevertheless, this still gives the town a special atmosphere and is well worth spending some time in its natural rural surroundings, maybe even staying overnight.

• Take a boat tour around Lake Skadar

Gliding through the waters of Lake Skadar in a traditional boat is definitely a must-do thing.  You can see island monasteries, watch birds passing by, swim in the serene waters of Lake Skadar, and the scenery looks different when in the water. The most popular place to join a tour or hire a private boat is from the biggest town and tourism center Virpazar.

During the summer boat tours are extremely popular. When I arrived, there were no tours available on the spot, so I had to hire a private boat- came out much more expensive but it was a fantastic time in the water! Therefore, to guarantee a spot on a boat, it is worth booking it in advance. On Get Your Guide there are different options for private and group boat tours for good rates.

• Visit tucked away fishing village of Karuč in Skadar Lake

A small fishing village of Karuč on the banks of the western side of Skadar Lake used to be a lonely hippie for quite some time. Not for long or not anymore, I believe. I found just a few images through social media of this abandoned-looking picturesque tiny lake village and decided to take a detour to check it out.

When arrived, I was quite surprised to hear dance music playing loud on the shore at some outdoor bar. It was hidden further away so I couldn’t even see it clearly. After a few moments, a group of at least 20 people arrived to catch a taxi boat (they were probably going to that same little party hub which seemed to be accessible only by water). I, on another hand, only had another cup of homemade Montenegrin coffee and took a few drone shots of this back in the day undisturbed place. Seems like it gets more and more popular (even Booking.com has accommodation there for still very cheap rates).

• Stay in one of the rural homestays around Lake Skadar

Spend a night or two in one of the homestays around Lake Skadar. I have chosen to stay in Estate and Winery San Duyevo – a newly refurbished but authentic studio flat with stone walls and wooden floors. It was only 15 min drive from Pavlova Strana viewpoint which I managed to visit twice- before sunset and just after sunrise.

Staying at Mrs San Duyevo’s studio apartment was a fantastic experience filled with genuine Montenegrin hospitality, a tasty dinner during the beautiful sunset, and a quiet gateway in the surroundings of Skadar Lake National Park.

Day 9: Skadar Lake and Between Two Magical Shores Route

• Distance covered:  32 KM
• Total drive time:  1 HR 11 MIN
• Overnight in: Apartments Pajovic Skadar Lake, near Godinje village

Continuing my relaxed time in Skadar Lake National Park, I drove further south past Virpazar to my next homestay where I settled for the next night. My plan was to drive a part of a panoramic route called “Between Two Magical Shores” which technically is a loop covering the west coast of Lake Skadar, traversing through some narrow mountain roads and villages before reaching the Adriatic coast and again coming back through Stari Bar to where it started.

Most people start from either Bar (a town on the Adriatic coast or Virpazar at Lake Skadar). Since “Between Two Magical Shores” is a 115 KM route, it could easily take 3 hours of driving on the narrow Montenegrin roads. Therefore, I only chose a small bit of it (well, I was a bit tired from intense non-stop driving a day before, so decided to have a chill day, sort of).

I started at Gornje Seoca (where my homestay was) and went to Livari Viewpoint ( Vidikovac Livari ) with a stop at Murici Beach in between. The road all the way was magnificent! But, it’s not for those with week nerves. I think this was one of the toughest routes out of many others I have driven in Montenegro. The road was in a little bit worse condition than others, super narrow, with many turns and goes around the steep cliff. However, I would drive it again and again- it is simply beautiful.

Going to Murici Beach is only worth it if you have time to spare or really need to refresh on a hot day as I had. Again, you will have to deal with steep narrow roads, and the pebble beach itself is pleasant, with not many people around.

• Stay at Old House Pajovic apartments

Old House Pajovic was like winning a lottery. I booked the whole apartment for 28 EUR breakfast included and little did I know how beautiful it will be. A huge apartment with gorgeous views from the balcony: Lake Skadar and even the Albanian Alps could be seen far in the background. The place is family-owned, where you can expect to receive the best service and care possible. I could have easily spent there few more days just chilling, and working on my laptop either from the balcony or the terrace restaurant, which I definitely encourage you to eat at. Nothing like fresh cough grilled fish from Lake Skadar! Wine lovers will find a fantastic selection of family-homemade Montenegrin wines and probably stronger drinks. You can book Old House Pajovic at Booking.com.

BONUS TIP: Somewhere on midway to Virpazar when driving from Pavlova Strana Viewpoint, there is a road coffee shop/bar called Macalov Brijeg – you can’t miss it anyway. This place has one of the best views of Lake Skadar and I bet it is a perfect spot to watch sunsets as well.

Day 10: Petrovac and Sveti Stefan with detour to Žabljak Crnojevića

• Distance covered:  93 KM
• Total drive time:  2 HRS
• Overnight in: Petrovac (2 consecutive nights)

Detour to Žabljak Crnojevića fortified fishing village

Before saying goodbye to the amazing Lake Skadar and heading all the way to the golden shores of the Adriatic coast, I decided to take a gamble by detouring to a place that I found on Google maps. Žabljak Crnojevića is a small fishing village, completely out of tourist radar, and has something completely unexpected to offer- an abandoned 10th-century fortress. The fortress, although crumbling down, still stood time and is a proud symbol of rich Montenegrin history. 

There is not much information online about this strange place, but apparently, Žabljak Crnojevića used to be a strategic point in the heartlands of Montenegro. Therefore, the fortress had to survive lots of battles.

Currently, it is an almost forgotten historical monument in a very weird little town. You can climb up to the fortress, and explore the remains of the medieval town, and admire the beautiful views of Lake Skadar.

It took me 20 min to drive to Žabljak Crnojevića from Virpazar town. Also, the route included crossing Skadar Lake bridge, from where you can enjoy panoramic views as well.

PETROVAC NA MORU

Petrovac (known also as Petrovac Na Moru) will be my base for the next two nights. I have chosen this seaside town strategically so I can reach my other points of interest-Stari Bar, Ulcinj, and Sveti Stefan- in a short drive.

Petrovac, although less known than its neighbor party king Budva, was still packed with locals and Russian tourists in August 2021. However, those guys tan their bums at the main beach, and only a few make their way to the best spots in Petrovac- fortress and the pedestrian promenade.

Things to do in Petrovac

• Visit the most prominent historical landmark- 16-th century Venetian fortress perched on the waters of tiny Petrovac harbor, at the right end of the main beach. This picturesque little fortress can be explored by clambering its stone steps or admired from above when walking on the elevated promenade (more about it below).
• Walk Pešačka staza Petrovac – Reževići. It is a pleasant elevated pine-tree shaded promenade of around 1.8 km in length. From here you can then enjoy beautiful rocky seaside scenery, capture some great shots of the Venetian fortress in between the trees, admire tiny islands of Sveta Nedelja and Katic, and last but not least breathe in the fantastic aroma of the lush Mediterranean vegetation.
• Go swimming at Perzica do Beach. This less crowded beach is a good option if you are already walking on a promenade. After passing a few rock-carved tunnels (attraction on its own), you will end up on this small pebble beach. One thing that is very disappointing about this beautiful place is the skeleton of a monster-size hotel. Its construction probably stopped but the view of the mountainside of the beach was completely ruined.
• Hire a taxi boat and spend a few hours on a secluded Fenix Beach. I have mapped out this tiny gateway and was excited about an escape plan which sadly didn’t work out. The beach is visible from the pathway after crossing one or two tunnels. However, I was almost heartbroken to find out it is only accessible by boat. No wonder it looked so unspoiled. I saw people being picked up by a taxi boat coming from the main Petrovac beach. It is a great option if you want to enjoy the quietest and probably the most beautiful beach available in Petrovac.   

SVETI STEFAN

You might have already seen a postcard-perfect fortified islet town called Sveti Stefan. Connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, a former fishing village, Sveti Stefan is now a private property- 5 star Aman resort. What a loss! Those who aren’t staying there, or eating at one of the fancy restaurants, aren’t allowed to visit the island. To chill on a private beach you will have to pay 100 EUR for access and a sunbed only.

However, there are other ways to admire this iconic destination on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro. Some of the best ways to spend time in Sveti Stefan:

• Drive up to church St. Sava – also another very Instagramable place in Montenegro. For a good reason though- views from there are magnificent. I advise going in the morning or during the day, as the late afternoon sun blocks the view and makes everything look gloomy and dark.
• Take a stroll through the coastal trail at Mirocel Park. This is a beautiful shaded path with great views of the Sveti Stefan islet.
• If you are planning to come from Budva, you may want to consider walking all the way to Sveti Stefan on the 7 Bay Trail connecting those two towns.

Parking Tip: Parking in Sveti Stefan town can be a big headache during the busy season. I simply parked on the side of the main road just above the town and walked down. Many people do that and it is also free. Just be careful crossing the highway- it is a bit manic.

Where to Stay in Petrovac?

I have rented a two-bedroom apartment a few steps away from the main beach. The location was superb, surrounded by pine trees, a nearby Voli supermarket, and lots of restaurants. Note that prices in the summer shoot up, and since I left my booking for the last minute, I probably paid a much higher rate than when you booked a bit in advance.

Book your stay at Apartments Petrovac na Moru .

Day 11: Stari Bar and Ulcinj

• Total drive time:  1 HR 16 MIN (round trip)
• Overnight in: Petrovac

A day trip from Petrovac included two stops at less explored historical towns of Stari Bar and southmost Ulcinj.

STARI BAR (Old Bar)

Stari Bar (which is not a bar but a name of a historical city) is often overshadowed by other more popular places along the Adriatic coast. However, it is very worth your time. You might even want to spend anywhere from a few hours to a whole day in this little charming old town and its beautiful fortress.

Situated on top of Londsa hill, a foothill of mount Rumija, Stari Bar has been troubled with wars and fights over the centuries. It has been taken over by Venetians, Serbians, Hungarians, and Ottomans until it was finally reclaimed back by Montenegro in 1877. The sad fact is that hardship didn’t end here and the fortified town was hit by an earthquake 100 years later, making locals move down to the coast.

The fortress now is mainly ruined. However, there are churches and a bell tower remaining untouched. You are free to wander inside the walls of the fortress for a 2 EUR fee.

A small old town at the base of the fortress is pretty and filled with quirky souvenirs and coffee shops proudly advertising their slow food. It is a great place to try authentic Montenegrin food, or just have some Turkish coffee with a traditional “tre lece” cake.

The southernmost Ulcinj town lies next to the Albanian border. Hence the majority of the population here are Albanians. That means it is also a great place to get a taste of Albanian culture without crossing the border. As soon as you reach Ulcinj, you can tell immediately it feels different from the rest of Montenegro. You will be noticing signs written in Albanian language, dozens of mosques, hectic driving, different architecture, and people advertising holiday apartments directly from their old Volga’s.

It was an extremely hot day when I arrived at Ulcinj. My main goal was to roam around the old fortified town which looks like a shark when photographed from the sky.

Because of the heat, I ended up spending a couple of hours having lunch with a sea view at one of the homely restaurants called Konoba Barutana. Its owner showed fantastic hospitality, and of course, prepared an amazing fish.

In general, the old town of Ulcinj is small but charming with its strongest card being fantastic sea views. Take a short hour wandering its cobbled streets and crannies.

Moreover, in Ulcinj, there are plenty of beach options. This little town has a long (if not the longest in the whole of Montenegro) 14KM sand beach called Velika Pliaza. The other great option to catch some sun and dip into clean Adriatic waters is Valdanos beach featuring around 18000 olive tree groves.

Day 12: Budva, Kotor Bay and Herceg Novi

• Total drive time:  2 HRS 50 MIN
• Overnight in: Dobrota (Kotor Bay)- 2 consecutive nights

As I am counting down the last kilometers on my epic road trip in Montenegro, it is time to come back to the one and only Kotor Bay. Here I plan to spend a few days exploring its less-explored corners.

I wake up early at 5 am and get ready to take off for my trip back to Kotor Bay (excited to go back!). On the way, I decided to make a short stop at the most famous coastal town in Montenegro- Budva. Being skeptical about this infamous party place and a tourist trap, I still have hopes to see its atmospheric Roman-era old town empty and quiet before the town wakes up. Back in 2017 I completely skipped visiting Budva as soon as I saw how busy it was during the day.

This time I reach at around 7 AM and leave my rental car in the parking lot next to Restoran Vista Vidikovac. From here, it takes around 10 minutes to walk down to the old town.

Before exploring the walled old town of Budva, I head to Mogren beach which is just a 2 min walk. Not for tanning, but for a photo of a cave with a bridge. Believe it or not, people started coming to the beach as early as 7:30. All available sunbeds and empty spots on the sands started to fill up real quick. The heat and humidity that day were unmanageable, so after a quick cave shot, I rushed to the old town.

A few words about Mogren beach: it would be an amazingly beautiful beach backed by gorgeous orange cliffs, but it is overcrowded and dirty. Ironically, being in the center of Budva it has all the facilities you could expect from a modern-day city beach- lockers, changing rooms, sunbeds, restaurant and bar, and whatnot. And, sadly, litter, lots of litter. It was heartbreaking to see how a beautiful place like Mogren beach is carelessly used and abused. So if you find on any blog mentioning Mogren beach as being one of the best in Montenegro- check the date, maybe 30 years back it used to be true.

Budva Old Town

Budva Old town also referred to as a miniature version of Dubrovnik was already filled up with tourists when I arrived at 8 AM. Funny enough, although being an architectural masterpiece, Dubrovnik left one of the worst experiences when I visited it back in 2017.  Although, a little less crowded than Dubrovnik, Budva Stari Grad (old town), wasn’t too different in terms of crowds. Therefore, due to its enormous popularity, I feel like this little historic town, actually very similar to many of its kind, didn’t leave much of an impression. I find the old town of Kotor more interesting and exciting.

HERCEG NOVI

After returning to Kotor Bay and basing myself at the same comfortable Mileva Apartment in Dobrota, I left for a half-day for a visit to Herceg Novi- the northernmost Adriatic town in Montenegro close to the Croatian border.

Herceg Novi, not as well-known as Kotor, is a beautiful coastal town. You can wander its cobbled streets with hidden flowered courtyards. Also, walking 7 kilometers long promenade from Igalo to Meljine is a great way to enjoy Herceg Novi. This pathway stretches through paved swimming areas and pebble beaches. It also passes numerous seafront restaurants. Furthermore, there are water activities like kayaking and boat trips to Blue Cave and Mamula Island that would allow exploring further to Luštica Peninsula.

USEFUL TIP: If you are coming from Tivat, you can, instead of driving around via Kotor, take a ferry from Lepetani (free for pedestrians and 4 EUR for the car)- it will save you around 1 hour of driving!

Day 13: Kotor Bay Loop: Muo, Prcanj, Donij Stoliv, Lepetane-Kamenari Ferry, Risan

• Distance covered:  44 KM
• Total drive time:  1 HR 40 MIN (full loop starting from Dobrota)
• Overnight in: Dobrota (Kotor Bay)

A day before the last day, I suggest slowly exploring the other side of Kotor Bay that you can see when driving from Kotor Old town to Perast and Herceg Novi.

I did a loop type of route that covered driving through cute waterfront villages and taking a ferry to the other shore. Starting off with Muo, followed by Prcanj and Donij Stoliv fishing towns, new perspectives of the Kotor Bay open up. You can pick the spot you like and stop for swimming or lunch with a view at one of the konobas.

After passing Donij Stoliv village, you will soon reach the beautiful Our Lady of Angles Church built on the shore of the bay. Stop to admire marvelous views with Perast and two of its islets on the horizon.

NOTE: The road winding around the above-mentioned photogenic villages is good for one car only. I nearly had an accident with a crazy public bus that jumped out of the turn. The driver seemed to be annoyed that it had to slow down, while I was trying to squeeze through. Therefore, take it slowly, because the public bus is always in a rush.

Soon after Our Lady of Angles church, you will reach Lepetane fishing village- it is also home to a small harbor from where ferries are transporting cars and passengers between two sides of the bay. For only 4.5 EUR per car and FREE for pedestrians , Lepetane-Kamenari ferry will bring you to the other side of the bay in under 10 minutes. The ferry waiting time is no longer than 15 min. This way you will save a good hour of driving around Boka Kotorska. It seems like there were 6 ferries operating between the two shores making the crossing very fast, smooth, and scenic.

Once in Kamenari, I continued driving back in the direction of Dobrota. Along this route, there is a trendy restaurant Verige 65 with stunning views of Boka Bay. I only stopped for a short glimpse and decided to skip on the popular eatery- just too modern, a bit too flashy for a natural place like this, and not exactly the vibe I would go for. Along the bay, you can find more down-to-earth homey waterfront restaurants.

Therefore, I continued driving and enjoying the passing views of the towering mountain peaks of Kotor Bay. On this route, you will pass a number of other small fishing villages, where you can stop and explore at your own pace. The more known one, aside from Perast, is probably Risan which is mostly famous for its Roman Floor Mosaics.

• Distance covered:  12 KM
• Total drive time:  20 MIN

Wrapping up the two-week journey around Montenegro, before my flight to Lithuania, I dedicated spending the last half a day in the port of Tivat. Called the Monaco of Montenegro, Tivat is a bit of a flashy town with luxury superyachts parked in its port. Being a resident of UAE, I see enough glamor, glitz, and shine, boats, and yachts, therefore, I could actually skip Tivat completely. For those of you, who are keen to see a different, more “rich” side of Montenegro, you might enjoy Porto Montenegro’s luxe vibes. The coastline is still very beautiful and sunsets in Tivat are also gorgeous, so why not.

What I skipped and what I would suggest skipping when planning your trip to Montenegro

• Podgorica- after reading a number of blog posts, I was convinced that the capital of Montenegro, compared to all the goodness available in the country, is not worth spending time at.
• Ostrog Monastery- I was debating on this one as it is a top sight on every Montenegro travel guide. After talking to those who have been there, even the drive up the hill alone is super dangerous and not really worth risking your life over a building in the wall. Also, this pilgrimage site attracts not only religious followers but lots of tour buses are constantly making their way to this tiny place. This would make the trip even more hectic. So I decided to give it a pass.
• Budva- a tourist hot spot, nightlife, and party center. Although it features an old historical town on the Adriatic coast and beautiful beaches- I would have not lost anything if I completely skipped it (I visited early morning for a couple of hours only).
• Tivat- if it is not on your way, and if you saw Monaco or Dubai, or any other luxury super yacht harbor before, it will not surprise you.
• Cetinje- to me it was quite a dull and boring place compared to the rest of what I saw around Montenegro.
• Lake Biograd- I would only go there if I had more time to spend around the lake, otherwise it is not worth going for only 30 min, as you also had to pay a 3 EUR per person entrance fee to the Biogradsko National Park.

great post !

Great blog post, super helpful! We’re just planning our trip now and I was keen for some beach time but like you, we don’t like crowds so it sounds like Budva isn’t really the greatest place to get some beach and swimming time. We are going in late August/early September – any suggestions where else we could find that in Montenegro?

Hi April, thank you, I am glad you find some useful info on my Montenegro itinerary. For the most quiet beaches, perhaps Long Beach in Ulcinj (south of Montenegro) would be a good choice. Also, Buljarica Beach is less crowded. It is located near Petrovac na Moru (which is closer than Ulcinj). It is a very long sandy beach. Also, if you are traveling at the beginning of September, the crowds might be less dense as many people are back from the summer holidays, and kids are back to school.

The 6 Best Montenegro Tours For Unforgettable Adventures That Are Achievable & Affordable!

Posted on Last updated: October 13, 2023

Categories Tours , Europe , Montenegro

Expert travel storyteller Jordan Adkins, founder of InspiredByMaps.com, brings a decade of adventures across 101 countries and 450+ UNESCO sites into rich, off-the-beaten-path narratives, melding ecological expertise with genuine, seasoned travel insights. His full bio can be found here.

Considered the Hawaii of the Baltics for its tropical beaches and mild weather all year round, the county of Montenegro might be well known in ex-Yugoslavia states; however, much of the rest of the world has never even heard of this Balkan nation.

This might not be surprising as it is one of the world’s newest countries, but those in the know will quickly tell you Montenegro is one of the most naturally beautiful locations on planet Earth with some of the best beaches, lakes, and mountainous views there are. And it is this mystery and natural grandeur that the best Montenegro tours seek to harness and showcase.

Our recommendation, go now – before the rest of the world catches on to just how truly jaw-dropping Montenegro really is…

Established as a country in 2006, The country is still rather new but is rapidly becoming a popular tourist destination. With your option to explore picture-perfect historic old towns, clear water beaches, or pristine lakes/national parks to explore, the country is continuing to draw in an increasing number of tourists each year.

Add a mild Mediterranean climate to the mix, it’s no wonder visitors are flocking from all over. If you’re planning to visit Montenegro independently or on a group tour, you will be met with some of the most welcoming people you meet as well as an overwhelming amount of things to do.

The small town of Perast is one of the best places to visit in the country of Montenegro. The town is gorgeously stunning with Orthodox-style churches, as well as more traditional older Balkan buildings and pristine lake waters.

 Although gorgeous, the town carries a darker history. The town was destroyed during the Yugoslavia war and in fact, if you take a boat trip to the island of Our Lady on the Rocks, which is a small island only 5 minutes away from Perast you will be able to see the relics from the war firsthand.

The island is also full of relics from previous wars dating to be over 100 years old. It’s worth it to take the boat trip and see the island for yourself. While in Perast, take the time to explore the old town. Most of the town is situated around the lake and very close together making it easy and quick to explore if you don’t have a lot of time. 

Another not-to-be-missed place is Kotor Bay, located right on the coast of Montenegro and it’s almost like a smaller version of Dubrovnik, Croatia. The city is protected by fortified walls and is a series of small winding streets, similar to a labyrinth. The city is full of world-class restaurants, phenomenal shopping, and some of the best Gelato you’ve had in your life.

If you’re lucky enough, you might make friends with one of the many feline friends who roam the city. Most of the outdoor cats you see in Kotor Bay are feral but are taken care of by the locals. Some are timider than others but you might be lucky enough to encounter a well-socialized cat ready to give you some of the best cuddles ever.

In fact, cats are considered part of the culture of Montenegro. This is due to the job of killing rats and other unwanted pests. The cats of Kotor Bay were introduced in the 1600s and 1700s to control the rat population as rats were rapidly taking over and causing disease throughout most of Europe at this time. Today, you will see feral cats on almost every street corner doing their job.

In fact, a cat museum was built in honor of their services to the country of Montenegro. The streets of Kotor Bay have some of the best dining, entertainment, and shopping experiences in Europe. Toss in the friendly feline friends you’ll make, it’s almost impossible to not make it out to Kotor Bay.

No trip to Montenegro is complete without a stop in Budva. A major touristic city, this slice of tropical paradise is considered the Hawaii of the Balkans by some and is famed for its luxury resorts, pristine clear water beaches, one-of-a-kind excursions, and exceptional wildlife. 

Start your day at the beach. Choose one of the 35 beaches in and around the city for a relaxing start to the day. The warm waters of the Adriatic sea, in combination with the wicked views and bright blue waters, make it the perfect place to relax the body, mind, and spirit.

Take a day trip snorkeling or on a Caraman Cruise. Both are widely offered across the city and give you the opportunity to see some exotic aquatic life, cool off, or party alongside the ocean with some of your best friends. 

If you’re looking to stay on land, spend the day in the Budva old town. Similar to Kotor Bay, the Old town of Budva is also protected by a fortified wall and is full of souvenir shops, restaurants, bars, tour and excursion booths, and much more. You can easily get lost exploring the city and completely immersing yourself in the moment. 

Planning your trip to Montenegro is not only exciting but can be considered adventurous due to Montenegro’s lack of presence on the world stage or lack of global popularity. With that being said, now is the time to visit Montenegro before it blows up and becomes overly popular.

With the combination of super adorable cats, beautiful ancient cities, pristine clear-water beaches, and a lake, this country is bound to become extremely popular. Montenegro should be at the top of your travel list and is definitely a fantastic spot to visit.

Montenegro is a country that should be explored with an organized tour. Not only is it stressful and time-consuming to have to book each and every excursion, tour, hotel, and everything else included,  it’s important to note that Montenegro is full of hidden or secret beaches, sometimes postcard-perfect small towns and spots that are almost once in a lifetime experience.

So it is always best to pick an organized tour by either a local or a knowledgeable guide that can take you to some of the best or most underrated spots in the areas in which you will be visiting. Organized tours give you some of the best, or perhaps unique experiences that you may have not been able to experience on your own.

So, much as we have done for the best Slovenia tours and best Serbia tours , here we are going to be talking about one of the best Montenegro tours (and their operators), so you can be inspired – and then choose with confidence.

Comfortable Heartland of Montenegro Trip

Montenegro is an underrated gem! The tour was perfect even though the weather wasn't at all times, but Borislav, our tour escort made sure we plan our day such that we make most of the sunny days as well as enjoy the rainy ones. The tour was well organized, well paced, communication was great and we were well taken care of at every step. We'd love to visit again someday cause 8 days isn't enough to explore this beautiful country!

The best of Montenegro Tour Package 7 days / 6 nights

We decided on this tour on very short notice, after arriving in Montenegro only to hear our original tour from another operator was cancelled. We could then start this tour on short notice and didn't regret this. Although we did not originally plan for a private tour, we quickly realised the benefits. With our driver and 2 different guides (one for the coast and one for the mountains), we really got to know the country. We made a few adjustments in the plans, to fit our needs, and could always stop anywhere or stay a bit longer at a great place. Our best experiences were the chances to meet locals, try their homemade food and drinks, and get to know them a bit. We definitely need to return to Montenegro.

Multi-activity in Montenegro is not for the faint-hearted!

Definitely on my A list for Montenegro and the best , amazing guide wonderful activities and great views.

Croazia, Bosnia e Montenegro in camper: il mio itinerario

Il nostro viaggio in camper quest’anno parte esattamente da dove era terminato più o meno un anno fa. L’itinerario che sto per descrivere noi lo abbiamo “testato” in camper, ma nulla ti vieta di percorrerlo in auto dormendo in b&b o/e hotel.

Il nostro progetto più ampio è di percorrere l’intera costa adriatica con il nostro van, per ragioni di tempo dovremmo ovviamente farlo in più viaggi. Questo quindi è la continuazione del mio Croazia in camper del 2017. La mia speranza è che con il 2019 possiamo terminare di esplorare questo angolo di Europa.

Per preparare il viaggio in Croazia Bosnia e Montenegro , non ho studiato più di tanto e le tappe le abbiamo decise strada facendo. L’unica certezza è che il nostro doveva necessariamente essere un giro “ad anello” visto che sia l’arrivo che la partenza erano programmate dal porto di Spalato . Infatti ho viaggiato, per risparmiare tempo, con il vettore SNAV sulla linea Ancona-Spalato e viceversa. Ti domanderai se conviene fare il viaggio in nave piuttosto che arrivare in Croazia via terra; ti posso dire che a conti fatti più o meno il prezzo del viaggio in nave (con cabina doppia) è lo stesso che quello via terra ma che per chi come noi ha i giorni contati e non è interessato o ha già visto il nord della Croazia, viaggiare in nave è più riposante e veloce.

Se vuoi info oppure devi prenotare il traghetto da Ancona a Spalato (o viceversa) collegati clikkando sul logo della SNAV da questa pagina e mandami una mail per ricevere un codice di sconto del 20%.

Alcune informazioni pratiche per un viaggio on the road in Croazia Bosnia e Montenegro:

Uno dei posti più belli del Montenegro: il parco durmitor

I tre paesi che andremo a visitare adottano tre monete differenti : in Croazia pagherai in Kuna (circa 7 kuna per un euro), in Bosnia con il marco bosniaco (un euro circa 2 marchi) e in Montenegro con l’euro (per fortuna!) quindi per prima cosa dovrai abituarti ai prezzi espressi in diverse valute. In Bosnia ed anche in Croazia in alcuni luoghi frequentati da turisti, tipo campeggi o mini-camp, prendono anche l’euro, ma generalmente non nei supermercati. Per fare il giro che abbiamo fatto noi dovrai passare almeno 8 posti di blocco alle frontiere e ti assicuro che non sempre sarà una passeggiata. In particolare al rientro da Montenegro in Croazia nella parte croata ci hanno fermato e perquisito centimetro per centimetro il camper affermando che “questa è la prima frontiera europea”. Ma con calma e tanta pazienza tutto si risolverà. Molto importanti sono i documenti del veicolo in particolare la carta verde dell’assicurazione. Il carburante costa un leggermente meno in tutti e tre i paesi rispetto all’Italia.

I supermercati si trovano un po’ dappertutto in Croazia in particolare c’è la catena Tommy mentre in Montenegro ottimi quelli della Voli.

Al ristorante in Bosnia abbiamo mangiato a Mostar che alla fine è uno dei luoghi più turistici spendendo 18 euro in due (due piatti abbondanti e due birre); in Montenegro con 7 euro a testa si mangia in un ristorante medio; la nota dolente è la Croazia dove i prezzi si uniformano a quelli italiani. In particolare devo segnalare che Dubrovnik è particolarmente cara.

Ma veniamo alle tappe viaggio che mi ha portato in Montenegro in camper:

Primo giorno: spalato-mostar-bastasi circa 350 chilometri.

Camping in Bosnia

Arriviamo a Spalato in nave un sabato mattina di inizio giugno. Il tempo di sbarcare e sbrigare tutte le formalità doganali e siamo subito on the road. Per raggiungere Mostar impieghiamo poco più di 2 ore. Visitiamo la città dopo aver parcheggiato in un parcheggio a pagamento (10 euro, tariffa standard). Pranziamo in un ristorante del centro e poi ci rimettiamo on the road. Le strade in Bosnia sono piuttosto strette e disastrate: per percorrere poco più di 150 chilometri impieghiamo tre ore abbondanti. Ci fermiamo in uno dei numerosi camp per rafting in riva al fiume costo 10 euro a notte con docce calde ed elettricità. Guarda i campeggi in Googlemaps .

Secondo giorno: Bastasi- Parco Nazionale del Durmitor- Zabjak 85 chilometri

Riprendiamo il viaggio, passiamo la frontiera con il Montenegro (poca fila, ma immensamente lenti i controlli) e poi ci immergiamo nell’on the road più bello che abbiamo mai fatto: il canyon del fiume Piva. Risaliamo la strada stretta tra oltre 50 gallerie scavate nella roccia ed arriviamo fino alla diga ed al lago Piva di un verde quasi abbagliante. Poi costeggiamo le sue rive fino all’incrocio per Zabjak e attraverso una strada ancora più stretta e più spettacolare entriamo nel   parco naturale Durmitor . Il viaggio di oggi vale veramente tutti i chilometri fatti! Per percorrere 107 chilometri abbiamo impiegato quasi 6 ore fermandoci ad ogni curva panoramica. A Zabjak ci coglie un temporale ed approfittiamo per fermarci a pranzo. Dormiamo all’autocamp Ivan Do 12 euro con docce calde e elettricità 43°09’10.8″N 19°05’52.2″E . In una posizione bellissima a meno di 10 minuti di passeggiata dal Lago nero.

Attenzione : l’itinerario di oggi comprende strade veramente strette che personalmente non percorrerei con camper molto grandi.

Terzo giorno: Zabjak-Maraça-lago di Scutari-Ulcinj 240 km

Passiamo la mattinata a Zabjak e tra le montagne del Durmitor facendo prima un’escursione in mountain bike e poi girando un po’ in paese. Poi riprendiamo la strada per arrivare al Canyon del fiume Tara ed ammirare il ponte. Intanto purtroppo inizia a piovere per cui ci rimettiamo in strada verso Podgorica attraversando un nuovo canyon, quello scavato dal fiume Moraça. Ci fermiamo nell’omonimo monastero. Ben presto arriviamo a Podgorica, la capitale del Montenegro e poi al lago Scutari. Ad Ulcinj ci fermiamo al camping Miami nella grande spiaggia sabbiosa a sud della città. (16 euro per una notte )

Quarto giorno: Ulcinj-Budva 65 km

Giriamo in bici tra i boschi vicini alla città vecchia di Ulcinj e poi, subito prima di pranzo ripartiamo per Bar. Sostiamo nel parcheggio vicino alla città vecchia (3 euro) e visitiamo le rovine della Stari Grad. Nel primo pomeriggio dopo aver pranzato a Bar in spiaggia, arriviamo a Budva e sostiamo all’  Autocamp Avala in pieno centro (bagni, docce calde, elettricità, wifi per 10 euro) . In serata visitiamo la bellissima città vecchia di Budva e poi ci facciamo un giro al mercato.

Quinto giorno: Budva-Cetinije (parco Lovcen)-Kotor

Partiamo all’alba dopo una notte di temporale ed arriviamo prestissimo a Cetinije, l’antica capitale del Montenegro. Visitiamo il centro storico ed il monastero e poi ci dirigiamo nel parco Lovcen per visitare la tomba di Petrovic, personaggio storico più importante del Montenegro. Poi ridiscendiamo attraverso la bellissima strada panoramica fino a Kotor . Parcheggiamo il camper in un parcheggio a pagamento (ci avevano chiesto 3 euro l’ora, ma in realtà abbiamo contrattato per 8 euro per 5 ore). Facciamo una gita in barca nelle bocche di Cattaro prima di visitare  il magnifico centro storico di Kotor. Se vuoi seguire il mio itinerario puoi leggere anche Kotor  cosa vedere .

All’ora del tramonto ripartiamo e  ci fermiamo a dormire in un paesino alle porte di Kotor lungo la spiaggia in libera. Qui trovi la posizione precisa .

Sesto giorno: Kotor-Molunat 65 chilometri

Oggi percorriamo tutta la strada costiera che abbraccia le bocche di Cattaro. Poi lasciamo il Montenegro per entrare in Croazia. La fila alla frontiera non è particolarmente lunga, ma, ci fermano e controllano minuziosamente gli interni del camper. Comunque in tarda mattinata possiamo finalmente cercare il nostro angolo di paradiso” e lo troviamo a Molunat, ultimo paese sul mare della costa croata. Il piccolo campeggio Adriatic si trova proprio in riva al mare; ci fermeremo due notti (prezzo con elettricità 20 euro e senza 15 euro) docce calde e wifi. Nel piccolo villaggio ci sono anche un ristorante di pesce ed un supermercato Tommy.

Settimo giorno: Molunat-Dubrovnik-Molunat in bus

Trascorriamo la mattinata nella spiaggetta di fronte al campeggio e poi alle 12 in punto prendiamo l’autobus di linea che ci porterà a Dubrovnik. Una parentesi gigantesca per parlare della bellissima città croata: vale veramente la pena visitarla ma devo segnalare che i prezzi sono davvero alti, i più alti di tutta la Croazia. In particolare al ristorante (specifico fuori le mura) abbiamo speso 35 euro in due il massimo durante il nostro viaggio. Inoltre il biglietto di ingresso per percorrere a piedi le mura della città ha un costo di 20 euro a testa. Torniamo a Mulinat con l’ultimo autobus della giornata quando ormai il sole è tramontato da un pezzo.

Ottavo giorno: Molunat-Dugi Rat 243 chilometri

Purtroppo nella notte un temporale ha disturbato il nostro sonno e la mattina è ancora brutto tempo. Prepariamo il camper ed alle 8 in punto partiamo. Dobbiamo attraversare ancora due frontiere, ma, questa volta nessun “intoppo” e facciamo prestissimo. Intanto il sole è tornato a splendere giusto in tempo per farci ammirare la bellissima riviera di Makaraska e per tuffarci tra le splendide acque della spiaggia di ghiaia più bella della Croazia: Punta Rata a Brela . Un posto che davvero ti consiglio. Puoi parcheggiare il camper nel grande parcheggio a pagamento alle porte del paese. A pranzo ci fermiamo in un belvedere e poi ripartiamo verso nord. Ci fermiamo a Dugi Rat a circa 20 chilometri da Spalato nell’  autocamp Orij nel quale abbiamo dormito l’anno scorso: è tranquillo ed è proprio in riva al mare.

Nono giorno: Dugi Rat- Spalato

Oggi è il nostro ultimo giorno in Croazia e comincia con un bel bagnetto! Ci fermiamo in spiaggia,  fino a mezzogiorno e poi partiamo verso Spalato, l’ultima tappa del nostro viaggio e porto di partenza del traghetto che stasera ci riporterà ad Ancona.

Mi sembra un bellissimo giro ragazzi….io vado in Croazia da moltissimi anni…in tenda adesso da un anno ho. Mio furgone e terrò conto del vs. intineraro…bravi.

Grazie cara! Devi andarci!

salve, vorrei maggiori info sulla tappa Bastasi – Zabljak…… avete percorso la E762 e poi tagliato per la P14 fino a Zabljak ? E’ questa la strada stretta di cui parlavi? Io ho un Ducato, non dovrei avere problemi…. è trafficata? Grazie.

Ciao Angelo! Sì, la strada è proprio quella! Allora: è molto stretta e tortuosa, a tratti NON asfaltata…Ma bellissima. Pochissime le auto che abbiamo incontrato. Noi con il furgonato non abbiamo avuto problemi. Credo che con un mansardato sia un po’ più complicato, ma comunque dipende dalle dimensioni del mezzo. (sconsiglio a camper superiori a 7 metri)

Ciao andremo in montenegro a luglio. Abbiamo in camper alto 3 mt e lungo 6.80 mt. Secondo voi la strada delle 50 gallerie la riusciamo a percorrere? Grazie mille

Ciao, il problema è se vi incrociate con un altro mezzo: noi siamo stati a Maggio, era bassa stagione e non abbiamo praticamente incontrato nessuno!

Jim Harbaugh Lives in an Recreational Vehicle Down by the Ocean

• Author: Stephen Douglas

In this story:

JIm Harbaugh really likes The Rockford Files . So much so that he is currently living in an RV on a California beach just like Jim Rockford did in the 1970's television series. If only Jim Rockford had considered a career change before he was falsely imprisoned at San Quentin.

Harbaugh recently took a Los Angeles Chargers camera crew on a tour of his Quantum. which has been parked in Huntington Beach for the last two months. Between the location and the lack of distractions, Harbaugh appears to be loving life, watching The Rockford Files (and Joe Dirt ?) every night before his early bedtime.

New Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman also lives in the same RV park, but in a much bigger 2019 Newmar VENTANA. Here's Roman's very diplomatic description of Harbaugh's rig: “I’ve been in here. Very cozy. I mean, you can drive this down the road and park it pretty much anywhere. So there’s a lot of advantages to having one this size."

every guy watching this just said “hell yeah” pic.twitter.com/Ir7Xpyv0VC — Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) April 16, 2024

It must have taken some serious willpower not to call it "cute." Of course, camper life isn't all glamour, even in a VENTANA, no matter how many American flags are flying proudly. Because wherever you're parked, someone has to take care of business. Here's Harbuagh on what sounds like a surprisingly proud moment in his life:

"Nothing will make you feel more like a dad than when you dispose of the waste. That was a moment. Seminal moment for me. Felt like a real dad."

Unfortunately for everyone, Harbaugh's family has now arrived in California, so he has to move back into a house that doesn't have wheels. We'll see how long that lasts before Jim Rockford and the cool ocean breeze comes calling for Harbaugh.

You can watch the full tour of Harbaugh and Roman's RV's on YouTube .
