Οι καλύτερες ορεινές πεζοπορίες στο Μαυροβούνιο

Scenic summit above the Medjed ridge — panoramic views across Durmitor. Exposed sections with chains on the way, recommended only in stable, dry weather.

It's best to do the tour the other way around. Otherwise, you'll enter the castle illegally via a ladder. You'll have to pay when you leave. We didn't have to pay a fine; I think people here are pretty relaxed about it, but theoretically, you could face hefty fines. It seems to happen quite frequently, every day.

The ridge section north of this is actually forbidden, but since we approached from the north we only saw this sign after completing the ridge.

We went to the right here (assuming you are walking uphill). However this part of the ridge crossing is quite challenging and it turned out later that this particular part of the ridge is forbidden. The safer option is to go left here, and skip this part of the ridge.

This is where my tour ends, but you can also start it here. Cars can also be parked here and then you can continue on foot. I always find it better to take different routes to the summit and back so you can see more of the surroundings and this is a good place to do it.

From the picture you can easily see how steep it is here. The rock is also not that stable and you have to be careful where you walk so that no rocks fall down. But it still happens. That's why you should wear a helmet. If there are too many people around, it's better to wait a bit and keep your distance. The route is fun and not that easy.

After the strenuous hike to the summit, you can enjoy the wonderful view and chat with other tourists. The last 200-300 meters are steep and you have to climb before you reach the summit. The path is secured with ropes in some places. You don't need any special equipment, but a helmet is really recommended because stones and other objects fall from above. There may be a lot of people here and there may be queues.

Here you can take a short break to enjoy the great view of the lake and the surrounding area. Then comes the final push to the summit, where you have to climb.
