Montenegro

Canyons and coastlines

Seventy peaks over two thousand meters, the southernmost fjord in the Mediterranean and the deepest canyon in Europe. Everything is located in Montenegro and in a small area like the size of the Wales. You drive on roads surrounded by mighty mountain peaks or through the deepest canyon in Europe, follow the shoreline of Lake Skadar and finally reach the magically beautiful Bay of Kotor. Montenegro has been sandwiched between East and West since the days of the Roman Empire and has been influenced by different cultures over the past two thousand years. The food offers the best of Balkan cuisine with dishes like Ćevapčici and fresh seafood paired with the powerful local wines. This tour takes you on quiet side roads to the scenic and cultural highlights of Montenegro in the Durmitor National Park, Tara Canyon Skadar Lake National Park and the Bay of Kotor.

You can visit the famous Black Lake, a glacial lake at an altitude of 1,400 m, and then continue cycling to the medieval tombstones of the Bogomils, also called Stećci. These tombstones are part of the UNESCO World Heritage - as is the entire Durmitor National Park. After this approx. 35 km long ride you will return to Zabljak. If you wish and you shape allows you can make a detour to Durmitor sedlo to experience a beautiful mountain scape.

Today you leave the roof of Montenegro and first you cross the plateau to the edge of the Tara Gorge. Take a look back at Durmitor mountains before descending a serpentine road to the famous Tara bridge. If you wish, you can also cross the deepest gorge in Europe, which in some places drops over 1000m than the surrounding highlands, with a zipline (optional). Follow the Tara upstream, you will pass through the Crna Poda forest reserve with its imposing Snake pines, and you can visit the Dobrilovina Monastery. The tour ends in Mojkovac. From there you will be picked up and taken through the beautiful Moraca Gorge to Lake Skadar National Park. This transfer takes about 2.5 hours.

The boat tour is optional and can be booked directly from various providers in both places. During today's bike tour you will discover the beauty of the largest lake on the Balkan Peninsula. You will experience the vastness of the lake on a panoramic trip through old villages. There are always wonderful views of the lake and the peaks of the Albanian Alps in the background.

Cycle to the highlights of the Bay of Kotor. The route runs directly along the shoreline, partly on the main road.

Here we also have a lunch break with a beautiful view of the islands. The last kilometers before the old town you drive back to Kotor along the low-traffic embankment.

Tivat is currently the trendiest place on Montenegro's coast. Porto Montenegro's super marina has given what used to be a sleepy little town a glamorous atmosphere. A detour to the Solila Bird Sanctuary offers a different perspective of this part of the Bay of Kotor. The bike tour takes first to Trojica Pass between Tivat and Kotor. From there you roll comfortably down to Tivat. The bird sanctuary is right by the airport and is a short detour of about 6km before you reach the center of Tivat.
