St. John Fortress (Sveti Ivan Fortress)

Highlight • Castle

The fortress of Sveti Ivan or as the locals call it, the castle of San Giovanni is located above the old town of Kotor on the steep mountain slope. The fortification was built to protect the city from invaders.
1350 steps lead to the top. The castle was built 280 meters above sea level. The church of "Our Lady", which stands at a height of 100 meters, dates back to the 16th century.

June 11, 2024,🇲🇪 auf das Kotor Castel

Hello everyone, if you want to go up to the castle ruins via the S1, you should know two things:
1. The entrance to the classic path can also be blocked. You also have to climb over a 1.20m wall. For us - June 24 - it was open.
2. If you want to avoid the fee for the main …

I did this tour 2 years ago and I have decided not to do it a third time. Unfortunately, Kotor becomes more and more touristy in summer. But it was great that after the tour we drove to the Lovcen National Park by car. Here you can see the bay from a completely different perspective. Absolute recommendations are the Njegoš …

August 30, 2022,Kotor.... Eseltrail und Altstadt

Today we went to Kotor. From the parking lot (60/h) we first went to the city gate. The older puberty preferred to roast his body in the sun and so we parted ways there. The younger puberty climbed up the easily walkable donkey path over the serpentines with us - some shortcuts were taken until we reached the top of …

We actually wanted to use the passage from the fortress wall to the old chapel, but since the ladder was removed, the almost 2m down the rock was too risky for us - hence the detour down and up again on the other side 🫣
