Day 48 - 49: Tara river Canyon

Visit to a campsite with a great view of the Tara Bridge. Not ideal and we wouldn't come back. But we use the opportunity to do our laundry here.

Kotor
Aug 21–22, 2025 in Montenegro ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Day 49 - 50:

After a total of 5 days and many, many kilometres, we have had enough of the cold mountain weather and leave Durmitor National Park in the direction of the sea again.
Next stop Kotor. :)
Kotor is a really small, beautiful and old town with lots of charm and flair. Definitely worth a visit. Even though it's hot, sometimes smelly, noisy and bustling, it's still pleasant to stroll through the small streets and let yourself get lost.Read more

Budva
August 22, 2025 in Montenegro ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Day 50: Budva and surroundings

After more than 14 days, we decided to continue our journey. After another two days it was too crowded and congested at the Bay of Kotor. Our next stop on the list is Budva. It felt good to have sand under our feet for the first time, but the beach areas in the centre were completely overcrowded. We walked a few kilometres along the coast so that we could swim in peace in the evening.Read more

Day 55 : Podgorica

Today we took a look at the capital of Montenegro. Here, old fights against new. We didn't really like it, but we used the day to stroll around and have fun in the playgrounds xD
The church is definitely worth a visit. But we didn't feel like spending more than a day there.Read more

Tara River Canyon 2.0
Sep 4–5, 2025 in Montenegro ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Day 63 - 64: It got wild

After the relaxed first few days, things got really wild and exciting. We left the paved roads and switched to trails in the mountains. First stop: Tara River Canyon. Of course, this looked familiar to us, but getting right down to the river was a real adventure and something completely new. After 7 kilometres of trail with gradients of up to 20% and hairpin bends as far as the eye could see, we finally reached the Tara!Read more

Day 65 - 67: Next wild stop right by the water

After just one night, we left the Tara canyon and continued towards the mountains near Podgorica. At first, we weren't allowed to do so because a construction site was blocking the road (we had a bad feeling on the way there because of all the construction vehicles 😂). However, we were able to continue at noon after the work was finished. The road took us through the beautiful mountain landscapes of Montenegro and in the afternoon we arrived at the Moraća River. Rocky, rough, ice-cold and beautiful 😍
We spent two wonderful days here with outdoor cinema, ice bathing, soaking up the sun and everything that goes with it. Pure relaxation.Read more

Farma Magaraca Martinici
September 7, 2025 in Montenegro ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Day 66: cuties ❤️

This donkey farm definitely touched our hearts. They are much smarter and cuter than you might think😍
Until 30 years ago, they were indispensable as farm animals, but today they are threatened with extinction. The Martinici donkey farm not only ensures the preservation of the species, but also uses the donkeys for therapeutic purposes, e.g. for children with autism. Furthermore, the farm is committed to recycling and sells/donates donkey milk for health and refinancing purposes.Read more

Old olive tree
September 8, 2025 in Montenegro ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Day 67: Stop by a very old olive tree 🌴

Before heading to the sea, there was one last highlight on our bucket list: Montenegro's oldest olive tree, which is probably also one of the oldest in the world.
Of course, we also walked around it three times for love, health and happiness. Whether that works or not, who knows?Read more

Day 67 - 70: Back to ocean 🌊

After our time in the mountains, we longed for the sea and sandy beaches. We found the latter for the first time since our departure.
Miles of sandy beach as far as the eye could see. Beach walks at romantic sunsets included.Read more

Shkodra

Day 71 - 72: First stop Albania - Shkodra

After our first night overlooking Shkodra, we decided to just let the day in Shkodra wash over us. It was a wonderful feeling, even though it often stinks, is very loud and simply seems run-down. At least the nightlife in the old town was super lively that night and a great experience :)Read more

Day 73: Hike to the waterfall

After the long drive through the winding roads up into the Alps, we didn't feel like going on a long hike. So we decided to visit the Grunas waterfall first. At just under 10 km, this hike is not the shortest, but it is a very easy one :)Read more

Day 74: Up, up, up!

On the second day, we climbed the mountains as fast as we could! With a total of 20 km, it was no easy hike. But after hours of effort and over 1700 metres of elevation gain, we finally arrived at Alijes. The view is amazing and the route itself is beautiful throughout.Read more

Day 75 - 76: Unfortunately, more swamp than beach

After hours of driving on narrow mountain roads, we found our way back to the sea. Since it didn't seem sensible to drive Hugo onto the sandy beach, we parked a little further back. Unfortunately, there was more swamp than sandy beach there. We didn't feel like staying more than one night.Read more

Day 76 - 78: Further along the coast

Just half an hour away, we found a really great beach, no swamp, hardly any trash, and an indescribably great bar—Bar Ledh. It's self-service there, and you pay afterwards. Great atmosphere and an incredible feeling of freedom. We stayed for two days.Read more
