Durmitor NP

We visited Montenegro ten years ago (what ?! 😱), but skipped Durmitor National Park back then because of bad weather. This time, on our way to Albania, we made sure to stop to explore the area.

We drove the famous Durmitor Ring, a thrilling 85km loop through the park where Laura had a few heart attacks squeezing past oncoming cars along the narrow, winding roads ⚠️. Faced with the choice between Bobotov Kuk (the park’s highest and most popular peak at 2523 m) and Prutaš (a strikingly shaped mountain), we decided not to choose at all and linked them together in one hike (a decision our legs loudly regretted the next day) ⛰️.
