ドゥルミトル国立公園の絶景の山頂・トップ8

The accompanying page in the ARD media library for the television series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" states: Rugged peaks marked by glaciers and karst formation, high alpine pastures, and primeval forests characterize a mountain landscape in the far north of the Republic of Montenegro: the Durmitor Massif. Nestled in the mountains are glacial lakes and karst gorges, springs and streams, and rivers roar in wild, inaccessible valleys. The name Durmitor likely originates from the Celtic language and means "Mountains of Many Waters."

We just completed this hike in early June. The ascent (via Todorov Do) is very technical and challenging for inexperienced hikers (30/40 degree slope, rocky and unstable terrain, some climbing, etc.). The descent (which is actually the ascent to the summit of the other side, which is another hike - a loop with a lake viewpoint, starting from the Dobri Do parking lot) is much simpler. Note that the end of the hike in the plain to return to the car is not at all signposted, the path is not easily visible, and the GPS track does not always match; you are mostly off-piste.

You can go there on foot (about 3 hours) but it is easier to take the chairlift, 2 stations for 10 euros up and down.

The ascent via Todorov do is difficult, scree then climbing passages follow one another before reaching the summit. We left the road which comes from Zabljak a few kilometers before this departure. It joins hill 2100, Prutaski do, and the path which goes up to Prutas. This route is much easier. On the other hand, we went down the path that leads to Todorov do. Very uneven route, but which is done with great attention and caution. Around 4h30 with breaks.

Definitely advise an 8am start from the car park if you wish to avoid traffic jams on the fixed cables at the top. Fixed cables themselves are ok and sections are not difficult, just a little exposed for people without experience.

We were there in mid-May and there was still snow on the path in places, so we had to deviate from the trail. Sometimes more, sometimes less dangerous. The route is harder than indicated and you definitely need climbing experience, especially on the last climb. In parts it goes steeply downhill and without safety equipment. Not recommended for doing this with children.

Very difficult last part of the climb. We were traveling at the end of October in good weather. However, very steep, no security and slippery.

In contrast to other reviews here, we found the climb (south route) and descent (east route) ok. The eastern route is very steep, probably strenuous on the climb but, depending on the weather, definitely doable for experienced hikers. The southern route is relatively easy. If the main peak is in the clouds, it is worth taking a detour to the plateau to the east, from where you have a great view of the valley.
