Lovćen National Park: The Mountain Above Kotor
Half a day of switchbacks and a view over half the country from the top.
Half a day of switchbacks and a view over half the country from the top.
Lovcen national park keeps coming up in conversations at the pier, so here's the specific version — not the tourist-brochure summary, the one that changes what you actually do.
How this actually works
The way I explain it in one sentence: Peak: Jezerski vrh, 1657 m.
Mausoleum of King-Bishop Njegoš. One of the great serpentine roads in Europe.
My honest tips
After years of doing this myself, these are the small things that actually change the day:
- Not to be driven in fog or heavy rain.
- Bring a light layer — cool at the top.
Verdict
My one non-negotiable tip: not to be driven in fog or heavy rain. Get those three right and you'll have a good day; get them wrong and no amount of money fixes it.
