Medieval Stecci

Today we are off “Up” once more, heading towards Durmitor National park. We pass yet more people gathering and chopping wood for the winter, as we have seen so often over the last weeks. The roads are quiet and wonderfully scenic - perfect for cycling.

Higher up we are on great grassy wild open spaces with views over to the Durmitor mountains. We decide to avoid the touristy town and instead cross another grassy moor to visit the Stecci, carved medieval tombstones and UNESCO monuments. All the more arresting for their location in such a beautiful setting.

Its a perfect place for rough camping. We tuck ourselves out of sight just a few hundred metres away from the Stecci and pass a quiet night in a wonderful place.Read more
