Montenegro Part 2


As always some of the best rides are off road. Once I climbed to the top of Durmitor National Park I found myself a nice back road to bring me back down.



The back road was just me and nature. And I so needed this ride through Montenegro since I was in desperate need of some nature.


Wild wild horses (just like the Rolling Stones song)


Yup, nothing but space baby! 


Another shot of the Gorge.


Now if I thought I was inspired by the view in Durmitor. Coming out into this view on the coast made my jaw drop. The whole trip from north to south in Montenegro is some of the best riding and scenery I have had in 3 plus years. 


Looking down to the town of Kotor. 
Just 32 switchbacks to the bottom and I will be sipping a cold Pivo (beer)



My views for the next 5 days.


Cannot beat chilling and swimming in the Adriatic Sea

Montenegro (Country #44)


To say the scenery was spectacular in Montenegro is an understatement. As soon as I crossed the border at the northern tip of the country I was in awe. 


My goal for the day was to cross over the Tara valley using the famous Tara bridge.

The gorge is said to be second in depth after the Grand Canyon.





Now it was time to head off for the night to the town of Kabljak and take in the sites of Durmitor National Park the following day.


My view when I woke up the following morning.


I was not allowed to ride in this part of the national park. So I did a short hike to the picturesque Black lake.
