Climbing Sušičko canyon

The canyon we had seen on yesterday's climb was beautiful, but also intimidating - because we would be climbing it on our bicycles to go to Durmitor National Park. Mathieu decided to ride his bicycle with Kiran and I, while Elise drives up with the van. The boys didn't find the courage to try so they went up in the van.

The road climbs up the canyon wall straight after the bridge over the Piva river. And the climb is, luckily, more stunning than it is sheer. The road just dives into the rock with tunnels even in the switchbacks. We get up to the top of the plateau and head to Trsa for lunch. Milo finds the courage to join us for the ride on the plateau till we reach the next canyon. From here we had a thrilling descent down the canyon wall to Sušičko lake.

Kiran pulls off another great climb with courage, this one even higher than the Kotor ladder.Read more
